| Abstract: | Although religiousness is found to be a significant protective factor in substance use, there is an evidential lack of studies
of such in athletes. The aim of the study was to identify the predictive value of the religiousness and some social, educational,
and sport factors on substance use in 43 sport dancers. An originally developed questionnaire for studying substance use and
precipitation factors was applied. The Chi-square showed male dancers as more religious than females. Using the Spearman’s
correlation, religiousness was found to be a significant protective factor in cigarette smoking, sport nutritional supplementation,
and the likelihood of doping. Data were interpreted emphasizing the previous findings from the literature. |
