Abstract

Universities should contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda and promoting sustainable entrepreneurial intentions among students can help achieve this aim. Sport science students have strong entrepreneurial skills, making the sports sector a potential avenue for SDG contributions. However, there is a lack of research on the impact of sport in natural environments on sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing the relationship between physical-sports practice in nature and sustainable entrepreneurship among sport science students. The study comprised 555 sport science students, averaging 21.67 (SD = 3.88) years old. Results revealed that students who engaged in sports in natural environments scored significantly higher (p < .05) in all sustainable entrepreneurship variables. Additionally, the study found that physical-sports practice in nature played a mediating role between sustainability attitudes and sustainable entrepreneurial intentions among these students. This demonstrates the potential transfer of sustainable values and attitudes through nature-based sports. By leveraging the positive influence of physical-sports practice in natural environments, universities can foster the development of sustainable entrepreneurial mindsets among students. Therefore, the role of natural environments in higher education should be considered to favor a more sustainable management mentality in future graduates.

探索自然体育活动对体育科学专业学生可持续创业意向的促进作用

大学应为 2030 年议程的可持续发展目标（SDGs）做出贡献，而促进学生的可持续创业意愿有助于实现这一目标。体育科学专业的学生具有很强的创业技能，这使得体育部门成为为可持续发展目标做出贡献的潜在途径。然而，关于自然环境中的体育运动对可持续创业意向的影响还缺乏研究。本研究旨在通过分析体育科学专业学生在自然环境中的体育锻炼与可持续创业之间的关系来填补这一空白。研究对象包括 555 名体育科学专业学生，平均年龄为 21.67（SD = 3.88）岁。结果显示，在自然环境中进行体育锻炼的学生在所有可持续创业变量中的得分都明显更高（p < .05）。此外，研究还发现，在自然环境中进行体育锻炼在这些学生的可持续发展态度和可持续创业意向之间起到了中介作用。这表明，可持续价值观和态度有可能通过基于自然的体育运动传递。通过利用自然环境中体育锻炼的积极影响，大学可以培养学生的可持续创业心态。因此，应考虑自然环境在高等教育中的作用，使未来的毕业生拥有更可持续的管理心态。
