Sport for all in the sporting events organization. The motivations of participation and the satisfaction level as a possible measuring indicator. The case of Bosque de Poblet Trekorientacion (R)

The increasing proliferation of sporting events promoted under the name SFA at the local level is a reality that we cannot ignore, and raises the questions: What do we understand by SFA? What requirements must be met for a sport to be considered as such? How do we could measure these requirements? In order to respond to these questions, the present paper presents a case study of the practical application of the SFA concept by the organizers of the 8th edition of Poblet Forest Trek-Orienteering. To conduct this study we applied a survey model that had already been tested in previous edition with a total of 77 surveys. In the studied edition a representative sample of 211 participants was used. The main observed features of the organization of this event were also used as inputs. Two key factors were identified that allow us to consider a sports event under the perspective of SFA: diversity of motivations for participation and degree of satisfaction. These two factors were identified in the results.
