The purpose of this study was to clarify the actual learning perspective of university students in track and field classes from the perspective of past athletic and sports experience. The results of the analysis showed that those who had experience in individual sports during high school had a significantly higher "perception of the appeal of sports" than those who had experience in team sports. However, no significant differences were found in "perception of the appeal of sports" between junior high school, university, and previous sports experience. No differences were found in the learning perspective of track and field classes for other subscale factors, sports experience from junior high school to university, or experience with track and field. It became clear that differences in high school athletic and sports experience may lead to differences in the perception of the enjoyment of exercise in track and field classes and the enjoyment of competing for victory and defeat among the subjects of this study. The results show that past athletic and sports experience is unlikely to affect learning perspectives on track and field. Although this study was focused on the learning perspective of track and field alone, we believe it is necessary to verify whether differences in learning perspectives arising from previous exercise and sports experience are unique to track and field.
