SILVA, A y SOBREIRO, P. Running involvement, loyalty to running, and subjective well-being: a cluster analysis. CPD [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.1, pp.138-159. Epub 19-Sep-2022. ISSN 1989-5879. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/cpd.468611.
One of the main policy objectives of many Sports and Health Government Departments is to increase sports participation to promote citizens health and well-being. The present study uses cluster analysis with the aim of identifying segments of runners based upon running involvement, loyalty to running and subjective well-being. A sample of 736 runners from one of Portugal's most popular athletics races completed a questionnaire. The number of clusters was determined using the BIC. Four significant clusters were identified. The main result showed that the cluster with the highest level of subjective well-being was not the group of runners with the highest level of loyalty to the race. The results show the need to design strategies focused on the clusters identified to promote sports participation through running, aiming to increase running involvement and subjective well-being.
