This paper aims to deepen our understanding of motivation for sports activities and to clarify its management measures. For that purpose, I have reviewed the literature and previous studies that focus on motivation and proceeded with consideration. The results can be summarized from three perspectives.1. Motivation toward sports activities influences the direction, aggressiveness, and persistence of behavior toward sports activities. Motivation is important in the sense that it involves processes such as effort, task performance, reward acquisition, and activity satisfaction.2. Motivation research can be divided into two types: the one that focuses on the content and selection of motivation, and the other that focuses on the mechanism by which motivation arises. Many research results have been accumulated in both psychology and business administration, but supplementary examinations and verifications targeting sports activities are still insufficient.3. In order to draw out motivation, it is necessary to consider environmental factor maintenance for the target. The focus is on the content of the activity and the control of the people and organizations surrounding the subject. At present, abstract methodologies have been presented, but systematic and concrete arrangements are required.Looking forward to future research based on these results, issues from two perspectives are presented. The first is that interdisciplinary efforts will progress in this area in the future and that opinions will be unified. The other is to try to use a method that differs from statistical analysis based on questionnaire surveys in motivation research. On the other hand, in order to ensure the results of research, it is important to have predecessors’ follow-up tests and re-verifications.
