Abstract This study explores the attitudes and participation levels of postgraduate students at Mangalore University toward sports and games. Using a descriptive survey method, data were collected from 400 students (200 boys and 200 girls) across various departments through a structured questionnaire. The findings indicate a notable gender disparity, with boys showing higher participation and spending more time on physical activities compared to girls. Departmental analysis revealed that Arts students exhibited the highest participation, while research scholars, particularly female students, demonstrated the lowest engagement. Most respondents acknowledged the health benefits of sports, with 81% of boys and 73% of girls agreeing on its importance. However, academic pressures and cultural norms emerged as significant barriers, particularly for female students. Parental support was identified as a crucial factor, with boys receiving greater encouragement than girls. The study concludes that gender-inclusive initiatives, improved facilities, and supportive environments are essential to promoting sports participation and holistic development among students. Recommendations include organizing awareness campaigns, integrating sports into academic programs, and providing gender-sensitive coaching and infrastructure. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions to address gender disparities and create a balanced approach to sports and academics.
Keywords Sports Participation, Attitudes Toward Sports, Gender Disparity, Physical Education, Postgraduate Students.
