The national academic system is expected to secure the flow of highly competent and skilled human resource to the national economy for sustainable progress. The study was designed to survey the students’ motivations (including the competitive ones) for the academic physical education and sport practices; and use the survey data to develop a mass academic sport system improvement model to physically activate the students. Sampled for the study were the optionally sporting students (n=362), with their physical education and sport motivations basically classified into the ‘leadership’, ‘competitiveness’, and ‘fun and recreation by physical education and sport tools’. The highest physical education and sport motivations were found in the volleyball and mini football men’s groups and the combat sport, aerobics and athletic gymnastics women’s groups; with the sporting students generally tested with the higher physical education and sport motivations than their unsporting peers. In view of the wide variability of the motivations survey data and the low commitment of the students for the university sport service and events, the authors worked out the new mass academic sport system improvement model to physically activate students. The model includes the physical education / health, mass sports and optional sport components with their own competitive formats (individual, couple, group and team ones). The mass academic sport system improvement model was found beneficial as verified by the improved physical activity rates.

Keywords: mass sport events, physical activation, physical education and sport service model, academic sports.
