Bu tanımlamaların ortak noktasına bakıldığında; spor ve din olgularının kökleri insanlık tarihi kadar eskidir. Spor tarihinin verilerine göre kökeninde dinsel bir yan bulunduğu sporun, tarih boyunca din ile değişen bir ilişkisi olmuştur. Çeşitli dönemlerde din ve spor ilişkisi birlikteliğini devam ettirirken, modern zamanlarda arasındaki ilişki neredeyse bir karşıtlık ilişkisi şeklinde düşünüle gelmiştir.  Popüler Spor Kültürü ve Din konulu bu çalışma, günümüzde popüler kültürün, din ve spor/egzersiz yapmaya etkilerini araştırmaktadır. Uygulamalı bir araştırma olan çalışmada, toplumda gittikçe yaygınlaşan ‘sağlıklı yaşam için egzersiz’ yapma ile gittikçe artan dindarlaşma eğilimi arasındaki ilişki betimsel olarak ortaya konulmuştur. Bu araştırmanın evrenini, Konya’da sağlıklı yaşam için spor/egersiz yapan insanlar oluşturmuş ve 197 erkek, 112 kadın katılımcıya ulaşılmıştır.  Elde edilen araştırma bulguları istatistiksel olarak yorumlanmıştır.  Elde edilen bulgulardan hareketle, popüler spor/egzersiz kültürü ile dindarlık göstergeleri arasında olumlu ilişkiler ve anlamlı farklılıklar bulgulanmıştır.
