Vad är det som gör att vissa väljer att sluta med en idrott? Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vad som påverkar valet att sluta med ridsport i Sverige och om dessa faktorer skiljer sig något beroende på utövandenivå. Jag har också kollat vid vilken ålder det är vanligast med drop out inom ridningen och hur många som valt att återuppta idrotten igen. Uppsatsen är av kvantitativ karaktär och datainsamling gjort med hjälp av en enkätundersökning, där n=47 respondenter deltagit i undersökningen med olika åldrar och bakgrunder. Enkäten innehöll bakgrundsfrågor och ett frågeformulär som belyser åtta olika faktorer som kan ha betydelse för valet att sluta (Questionnaire of Reasonsfor Attrition, (Gould et.al.1982)). Dataanalysen utfördes med statistikprogrammet SPSS och uträkningar är gjorda utifrån medelvärden, typvärde, variation och t-test. Resultatet visade att de vanligaste orsakerna för drop out inom ridport är för höga kostnader, att det tar för mycket tid och att man hittar andra intressen som är roligare för gruppen som helhet. De som hade en bakgrund som tävlingsaktiv kände dock att de största anledningarna var brist på utveckling och framgång samt att det blev för stressigt/ansträngande att hålla på med. De som inte tävlade tyckte att bristande intresse och mindre socialt stöd var de främsta orsakerna. / What makes some choose to drop out of a sport? The purpose of this paper is to investigate what influences the choice to end participation in equestrian sports in Sweden and if these factors differ depending on the level of practice. I have also checked at what age it's most common with drop out in the equestrian sports and how many people have chosen to resume it again after a break. The essay is quantitative and data collection was done by a survey, where n = 47 respondents participated in different ages and backgrounds. The survey contained background questions and a questionnaire (Questionnaire of Reasons for Attrition, Gould et.al(1982) ) highlighting eight different factors that may affect the choice to end. Data analysis performed the SPSS statistics program and calculations were based on mean values, mode, variation and t-test. The result showed that the most common causes of drop out in equestrian are too high costs, it takes too much time and other interests are more fun for the group as a whole. Those who had a background as competitive activists knew, however, that the biggest reasons were lack of development and success, and that it was too stressful / strenuous to keep up with. Those who did not compete thought that lack of interest and less social support were the main reasons.
