Abstract

The perceptions of intercollegiate athletes in selected National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) institutions were assessed in relation to the athletic training room and the services rendered by athletic trainers in this study. A Likert scale questionnaire including 34 statements was distributed to NAIA and CCAA athletes (N= 562) who were on the men's and women's basketball teams, the men's and women's soccer teams, and the women's volleyball team. Four intercollegiate athletic teams were included in the data near the end of the survey as well, including men's rugby, men's baseball, women's swimming, and women's softball. The data was divided among gender, year in school (class standing), year of sport eligibility, and intercollegiate program. Results were analyzed through SAS Version 9.1 regarding similarities, differences, and notable significance. This study noted a few problematic issues that should be taken into consideration in order to further increase athlete satisfaction.
