FN ISI Export Format VR 1.0 PT J TI Pumptrack Segnes – how to motivate kids to use it AF Jager, Lucy AU Jager, L AB In the last couple of years a negative trend has been detected concerning the sportive activity of children in Switzerland. In the Bachelor thesis this trend is being counteracted in a small scale, namely the city of Chur, by introducing a new physical environment, the Pumptrack in schools. A Pumptrack is a round course used especially by mountain bikers to improve their riding skills and endurance. Since October of 2012 the city of Chur is in possession of one at the playground Segnes. With the help of expert interviews, teacher questionnaires and a field study at the end, involving two school classes testing the Pumptrack within a 90 minute sports class, the thesis is trying to find out the best possible way to involve Pumptrack biking in school sport. The school is the best channel to reach the biggest pool of children and was therefore chosen to serve as a distributor of the program. In the end a recommendation is given to how schools can integrate the Pumptrack the best possible way in order to encourage as many children as possible to involve in this sport. ER
