Dear Athletes of Technosport Ottawa,

My name is Jennifer Wigglesworth and I am a Student Researcher for Dr. Bradley Young at the University of Ottawa. I would like to ask you to consider taking part in our questionnaire research. The purpose of our research is to examine aspects of social support that are associated with your involvement in Masters Sport. We are interested in understanding your degree of commitment to your sport as well as the different social influences that support or constrain your participation. I have spoken with your coach, Duane Jones, about our research and he has agreed to hand out surveys during a practice. The surveys need not be completed in person at the practice, as return envelopes and postage will be supplied with the survey. Feel free to take the questionnaire home to complete.

This study will require you to complete a questionnaire that asks whether your coach, training partners or teammates, various family members, and non-sport peers influence your sport involvement. You will also be asked to provide information about how much time you spent doing activities in your sport over the past 12 months. These tasks may take about 30 minutes to complete. Upon completion of the study, you will have the opportunity to request a summary of the findings. The information that is obtained will hopefully enable us to meet our research objectives and contribute to a better understanding of how various people motivate Masters Athletes to commit to sport.

A letter of information in both French and English will also be supplied to you along with the survey. This letter will go over the ethics procedures that are followed by our Masters Athlete Research Group. However, the actual survey itself is written in English.

You must be presently 35 years of age or older to participate. Your participation in this study is entirely voluntary. Filling out the questionnaire and returning it in the pre-addressed and pre-stamped envelope would indicate that you freely consent to participate in this study. Your participation would be extremely helpful and greatly appreciated. You can contact us about any part of the research being conducted at any time at the contact indicated below.
