尽管体育活动被普遍认为是健康机能和幸福的重要组成部分，但人们很少充分认识到其价值的全部范畴。本文引入了一个新颖的框架，用于理解体育活动（特别是与运动相关的体育活动形式）与人类发展不同方面之间的关系。它提出，体育活动的结果可被构建为不同的“资本”，这些资本代表对特定领域资产的投资：情感资本、金融资本、个人资本、智力资本、身体资本和社会资本。这些投资，尤其是在生命历程的早期进行时，无论是在当时还是在未来的岁月里，都能产生显著的回报。本文提出了一个新的模型——人力资本模型，该模型解释了这些影响，概述了不同的资本，并简要阐述了通过体育活动实现人力资本增长所需的条件。
Despite the fact that physical activity is universally acknowledged to be an important part of healthy functioning and well-being, the full scope of its value is rarely appreciated. This article introduces a novel framework for understanding the relationships between physical activity (and specifically sport-related forms of physical activity) and different aspects of human development. It proposes that the outcomes of physical activity can be framed as differential 'capitals' that represent investments in domain-specific assets: Emotional, Financial, Individual, Intellectual, Physical, and Social. These investments, especially when made early in the life course, can yield significant rewards, both at that time and for years to come. The paper presents a new model-the Human Capital Model-that makes sense of these effects, outlines the different capitals, and briefly articulates the conditions necessary for the realization of Human Capital growth through physical activity.
