The school system that is very concerned about academic achievement is also a
contributor to drowning the talent of the sport that is in the student. This study is to
model the relationship between sports involvement and their influencing factors to
engage in sports such sports involvement, their perceptions and attitudes. Data were
collected using questionnaire and 330 respondents are from Bukit Kepayang National
High School, Negeri Sembilan and Pelindung National High School, Kuantan Pahang. The
method for this study is used by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and using two
statistical software, Statistical Packages for Social Sciences(SPSS) and Analysis of Moment
Structure (AMOS) . The Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) value
obtained is 0.071, which is smaller than 0.08 and Degrees of Freedom for Chi-Squared
Test (Chi-Square / df) is 2.665 which is smaller than 5. Thus, the results obtained are
the measurement model are significant and corresponds with the study data. The result
show that three factors of the sports behavior of secondary school students are significant
with sports reasons, perceptions and attitudes towards sports.
