Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship among socioeconomic variables (age, gender, income, occupation and sport habits) with the running practice in Argentina. A quantitative approach was adopted, based on the National Survey of Risk Factors (ENFR) 2009. We established categories based on their relationship with the running social world and we analyzed the relationship among different socioeconomic variables with our research categories. Logistic regressions and multiple correspondence analysis we used along this work. Our analyses show that individual, social and economic characteristics have a relevant effect on running participation. In general terms, runners tend to be males, middle aged, with middle high income and higher education.
