Journal Title: Geosport for Society - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The purpose of the current paper is to reveal the sports and physical activity engagement of Romanians at the level of the eight development regions, data corroborated with EU average values in this field. The raw data for this research were retrieved from the Special Eurobarometer 472, which were further on processed in ArcGIS maps. The study results indicate that there is a very low frequency of exercising, namely 63% of Romanians never practise sports, while only 6% practise sports regularly. Per development region the most inactively engaged citizens are those from the South-East (75%) and Central region (71%), while the share of those who exercise regularly is the highest in the North-East (12%).
