In this article, we study the reasons that lead young people of Seville (6 to 18 years) to abandon the practice of physical and sports activities. We therefore performed a multistage sampling, with selection of primary units (schools) for municipal districts and type of center, according to a simple random sampling, using proportional representation. Secondary units (individuals) are selected by a survey using quotas by gender and age ranges. After applying statistical techniques, we conclude that the sample was composed of 1,074 individuals that we guarantee a margin of error of + 2.97% for a confidence level of 95%. The method of data collection consisted of questionnaires and personal interview. And the most relevant results, as well as the various investigations consulted, was that most young people stop practicing Seville due to demotivation and lack of time, in that order, while in the large bibliography, these two reasons reverse their order.
