COVID-19 pandemic restrictions might have negatively affected the health-related physical fitness of children and adolescents. The aim this study was to contrast body composition data two independent samples adolescents obtained from an online database (DAFIS project) before (n = 15,287) during 2101) first academic year pandemic. results revealed higher values for mass index (p 0.002), waist circumference < 0.001), hip height ratios 0.001) than pandemic, particularly in case boys. On...
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers physical inactivity (PIA) as a critical noncommunicable factor for disease and mortality, affecting more women than men. In 2013, the WHO set 10% reduction of PIA prevalence, with goal to be reached by 2025. Changes in 2013-2017 period prevalence 28 European Union (EU) countries were evaluated track progress achieving 2025 target.In 2013 2017 EU Special Eurobarometers, activity levels reported International Physical Activity Questionnaire 53,607...
Abstract Research question: The increase of physical exercise in fitness centres has turned these facilities important active lifestyle promoters. However, only between 30% and 60% subscribers still linked to the sports centre after a year. aim this study is design model predict drop out centres. methods: Monthly data corresponding actual behaviour 14,522 members three sport Spain were recorded over course one In order calculate likelihood out, logistic regressions used create predictive...
The current study aimed at analyzing the relationship between body composition, adherence to Mediterranean diet (MD), and physical fitness (PF) in a young active population. A total of 1198 athletes (boys = 875; girls 323) enrolled different municipal sports schools participated this study. Data on MD (KIDMED questionnaire), anthropometric measurements, PF (20 m shuttle run test, handgrip strength, vertical jump forced spirometry) were collected. Results show that pubertal boys had higher...

Background : Leisure-time physical activity is the preferred domain by population to follow recommendations, helping maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, main issue in this type of intervention massive dropout. Methods Using monthly data from 20,908 leisure/fitness center members (2011–2016), we estimate discrete-time duration model examine how membership influences dropout probability, addressing cross-sectional limitations. Additionally, assess explanatory power different covariate...
Studies on customer loyalty commonly use future behavioural intentions, even though these do not always correspond to actual behaviour. This study aimed create a model for predicting dropouts at sport centre based solely Monthly data corresponding the behaviour of 1977 members in Spain were recorded over course one year; represented historical participants. The variables selected develop have been used by other authors loyalty, although this users surveyed. A dropout prediction was created...

A total 2340 involving 2244 elite judo athletes (1343 men 901 women) were analysed. Pearson’s chi-squared (χ2) implemented association variables, standardised residuals used its interpretation; strength associations reported as Cramer’s V. Shapiro–Wilk Kolmogorov–Smirnov test...
Abstract. Purpose: One of the main problems detected in sport centre field is abandonment physical activity by members. The aim this estudy to evaluate reproducibility predictive models sports centres, based on information collected through access control and Customer Relationship Management system. Method: Monthly data corresponding actual behaviour two centres Spain were recorded over course one year (12,545 members). Based these variables, designed using absence or permanence as an...
