Abstract
The University Sport South Africa mandate is to promote sports, recreation, and mass
participation at tertiary institutions in South Africa. Tertiary institutions could be used as sites
to ensure an enabling environment where recreational opportunities can be created for the
students to reap the benefits of participating in recreation. This study was aimed to determine
the relationship between the students’ recreation needs and the recreation patterns at a tertiary
institution. The Self-Determination Theory was adopted as the study’s theoretical framework.
This study was a cross-sectional study that made use of quantitative methods to generate data.
The entire student population was included and the sample was based on the power calculation
of three hundred and seventy-nine (n=379) participants.
