Abstract

The theme "Causes of Disinterest in Sports Practice in High School Students in the Ecuadorian Amazon" aims to discover the causes of this disinterest. Descriptive, applying an online survey, with a sample of 327 students. One of the most important findings regarding physical activity is that students practice jogging and walking, but others do not do any type of sports activity, due to lack of time. Conclusion, the students do not practice sports due to ignorance of the benefits to their health and the existence of sports venues in the town, such as the high performance center, which remains empty. Demotivation causes non-adherence to sports practice. The inadequate distribution of free time constitutes another limitation, it is justified because the students allege that they do not have enough time because they are dedicated to their studies.
