Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the student's ability (according to his own rating), where his interests lie, and at what age, and where male students first learn physical activities that are taught in the high schools of Utah.

The factors used in this study included: (1) number of boys having had three weeks instruction in each of 63 listed activities; (2) personal rating (compared to other boys in the class) as to ability in each activity; (3) personal rating as to wanting to watch and wanting to participate in each activity; (4) approximate age boys first participated in each activity, and (5) which of the following - School, City, Church, Scouting, Sandlot and Elsewhere, contributed first, most and some towards the boy learning the listed activities.

It is the belief of the author that by going directly to the boys being studied, as true a picture as possible will be obtained.
