Estimated read time 1 min read

Follow-up research conducted at the University of Eastern Finland demonstrates that municipalities’ use of sports resources for physical exercise does not always result in increased activity. Individual variables have a more significant impact on physical exercise habits than finances. The most educated and in the best health participated in leisure-time physical exercise at a higher rate than the least educated or the less healthy. Men exercised more during their free time than women, whereas women exercised more when commuting.
