Unethical Forms of Behavior in Sports 2014 UDC 796.01 http://ezaposleni.singidunum.ac.rs/rest/sciNaucniRezultati/oai/record/2/2691 http://casopisi.junis.ni.ac.rs/index.php/FUPhysEdSport/article/view/408/212 S. Lazarević S. Dugalić A. Milojevic N. Koroponovski V. Stanić This study analyses various forms of unethical behavior, which are incr easingly present in sports. The focus of the research is to identify various forms of punishment, humiliation, mistreatment and abuse in sports clubs, and to approach this issue with determination with the aim of reducing or removing the consequences. The research was conducted in a variety of sports clubs in Serbia, which were chosen at random, and the participants (n=250) responded to a specifically structured questionnaire. The research showed that, depending on the age category, various types of unethic al behavior took place: undue threats and punishment (55% men, 50% women, but with a statistically significant gender difference among the lower age categories), forced to compete despite possible health risks (over 80% athletes), and sexual harassment (78 % of the female respondents in the category of younger seniors). Abuse and mistreatment were present in the pioneer, cadet and junior categories, and they became more intense in the senior age. Considering that the research results clearly show the existen ce of certain forms of abuse and mistreatment of athletes, this points to the need for the educational work of coaches to be focused on sport. article 12 2 155 166 1451 740X Facta Universitatis, Series: Physical Education and Sport
