Sports Practice in the Algerian University Environment: Between Available Resources and the Reality of Implementation

Abstract

 

This research paper aims to address the key measures and regulations implemented by the Algerian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research to enhance university sports and, consequently, invigorate student life within academic and service institutions nationwide. The objective is to develop a cadre of student-athletes for participation in various national and international competitions. To this end, the Directorate of Student Life at the ministry has introduced proposals for legislation to regulate university sports, such as the Student-Athlete Law, and has also worked on encouraging the establishment of student sports associations and setting annual sports competition programs. This paper will examine, using quantitative data and statistics, the outlined university sports programs and the results achieved to address the following issue: What is the state of sports practice in the Algerian university environment in terms of available resources and the effectiveness of implementation?
