espanolEl objetivo principal de este estudio fue analizar los habitos deportivos de los adultos espanoles segun los aspectos temporales de las actividades, el genero y la clase social. La investigacion siguio una metodologia cuantitativa y transversal. La muestra estuvo formada por 3,463 personas, 1,732 hombres (46,6 ± 9,7 anos) y 1,731 mujeres (44,5 ± 9,6 anos). Se ha realizado un metodo de analisis multivariante (analisis cluster) a traves de la tecnica del arbol de decision (CHAID exhaustivo) para identificar las mejores variables predictivas en los aspectos temporales de las actividades deportivas.
