Polish adaptation of the Sports Tourism Motivation Scale (STMS) in the context of understanding Socio-Cultural, Nature and Tourism-Related Motivation among athletes

Research on runners is most often conducted in the context of sports motivation using the adaptation of the Motivations of Marathoners Scale (MOMS) questionnaire, which, however, does not measure aspects related to tourism, nature or socio-cultural aspects. The aim of the study was to create a Polish adaptation of the Sports Tourism Motivation Scale (STMS) for athletes, especially runners, which, for the first time, enables the examination of socio-cultural and tourism-related aspects among them in Poland.
