Abstract
On the sample of 803 male subjects potentially highly engaged in the kinesiological activities (18-27 years old) by means of regression analysis the relation of subjects' passive status (defined on the basis of 38 variables of the phenomenological model of social stratification) and their engagement in the sport organisations was determined. The coefficients of determination DELTA = 0.16 and multiple correlation RO = 0.40 were calculated. The mother's educational level and her function in the humanitarian and sport organisations and the father's function in the self-management body were significant isolated predictors. Some of the economic variables are relatively highly correlated with the criterion, i.e. with the engagement in the sport organisations.
The received coefficients of correlations are lower than expected. That can be explained partially by the influence of the applied statistical procedures. Nevertheless the coefficients indicate that systematic and organised activity of the subjects in the sport organisation depends upon their parent's position on the dimensions of educational, political and economic status. The isolated latent dimensions is significant regulator of the subject's sport activity which generally depends upon some indicators of the political and economic power.
