Sports Related Course At An Educational Institution.
Purpose: The Relative Age Effect (RAE) in the academic study of sport. The aim of
this study was to investigate the relationship of those students being born on a
certain date will indeed influence the decision to study a sports related course at an
educational institution.
Methods: Contacted various levels of educational institutions and requested student
information from sport related academic courses such as their date of birth, gender
and course title. The gatekeeper and the data managers securely passed the
relevant information requested. Organised and arranged data collection into three
birth date month groups; September-December, January-April and May-August
within appropriate statistical software and spreadsheet software.
Results: Statistical analysis was determined where appropriate using Chi-Square
tests and formulas. The main findings show there to be significant results in the birth
dates of an individual and studying a sports academic course as with the distribution
of births across all levels of education were not equally distributed throughout the
year. The observed frequencies showed the birth date is highest for the months of
September-December and lowest for the spring and summer months. It also showed
an over populace representation of male students compared to females who are
studying a sport related academic course at an educational institution.
Conclusions: Therefore it can be derived from the results presented that the birth
date did have a large influence on choosing to study a sports related course at an
educational institution.
Key Words: Relative Age Effect, birth date grouping, gender bias, sports academia."
