这项研究的目的是评估西班牙体育设施的可用性和社会经济环境与慢跑、游泳和健身房使用的关系。体育设施可用性的指标是每10 000人的游泳池数目和健身房数目。社会经济环境指标为省平均收入和省失业率。体育设施的数量与游泳和健身房的使用无关，社会经济环境指标与男女游泳和男性健身房使用无关。本研究的结果不支持先前研究提出的解释社会经济环境与缺乏体育活动之间一致关系的假设。(C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd版权所有。
The aim of the study was to evaluate the association of the availability of sports facilities and socioeconomic environment with jogging, swimming and gym use in Spain. The indicators of availability of sports facilities were the number of swimming pools and the number of gyms per 10,000 population. The indicators of socioeconomic environment were average provincial income and provincial unemployment rate. The number of sports facilities was not related with either swimming or gym use and the indicators of socioeconomic environment were not associated with swimming in either sex, or with gym use in men. The findings of this study do not support the hypotheses proposed in previous investigations to explain the consistent relation between socioeconomic environment and lack of physical activity.
