Abstract:
The improvement of sports culture theoretically includes not only values, habits and active participation in sports, but also facilities and infrastructure designed by humans to support the embodiment of these values, habits and active participation. Therefore, the study of sports culture is not only related to sports competence and sports culture, but also the noble values of sports, namely sportsmanship not gamesmanship. The sample of this study was 2304 students from general high schools and vocational high schools throughout Indonesia. Data were analyzed using four analytical techniques, namely: descriptive statistics, single average t-test, independent two-group average test, and correlational techniques. The findings show that Indonesian youth sports culture meets the eligibility criteria, while their level of sportsmanship is below the eligibility criteria. There is no difference in sports culture between high school and vocational high school students, but there is a difference in sportsmanship between the two groups. The empirical data supports the conclusion that the higher the sports culture, the lower the level of sportsmanship.
