Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Behavioral Economics

Background:

  • Enhancing athlete engagement in training is crucial for performance.
  • Traditional methods may not always optimize participation rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a lottery incentive system on athletic training attendance.
  • To determine if a gamified reward structure can increase player participation.

Main Methods:

  • A lottery incentive system was implemented for 20 athletes.
  • Participants received playing cards for each training session attended.
  • A weekly cash prize was awarded for the best poker hand.

Main Results:

  • Training attendance significantly increased during the intervention period.
  • Attendance decreased when the lottery incentive was withdrawn.
  • The system demonstrated a clear positive impact on participation.

Conclusions:

  • Lottery-based incentives are an effective strategy for improving athletic training attendance.
  • Gamification and reward systems can be valuable tools in sports management.
  • Behavioral interventions can positively influence athlete engagement.
