Modelling the Indicators of Environmental Risk for Fitness Activities

Abstract

The fitness industry has developed vigorously in recent years, and nationwide fitness programs have drawn wide public attention; however, researchers have rarely paid attention to this issue, resulting in poor construction of the theory of fitness behavior risks. This study used the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method to analyze the weight of risk indexes in public fitness with the aim of analyzing the importance of the various risk indexes in fitness, in order to provide fitness enterprises with a basis for the environmental maintenance of fitness venues. A total of 5 questionnaires were distributed through real feedback from sports researchers, fitness coaches, medical personnel and participants. Relevant risk indexes are divided into behavioral risk, environmental risk, equipment risk and awareness risk. Based on the relevant risk indexes in previous literature, this study made proper adjustments to the indexes. Experts completed the questionnaire and the FAHP method was adopted to calculate the weight of each index, thus, highlighting the importance of each index. The research results may serve as a reference for enterprises to make investments in national fitness programs, and for the public to select fitness venues.
