Studies have found that there is a positive relationship between the number of student visits to campus recreation and academic outcomes such as rates of graduation and grade point average (Huesman, Brown, Lee, Kellogg, & Radcliffe, 2009). Despite the strong correlation between use of fitness facilities and academic performance some students choose not to visit, while some who use the facilities may not be maximizing such use due to constraints (barriers). The purpose of this study was to understand the constraints to using the campus recreation facility at a midsized New England university. Moreover, this study sought to understand the types of management actions that would help increase use of the recreation center by current users. An online survey was distributed to a random sample (N = 2,400) of all campus recreation visitors in fall of 2013 using a modified Dillman method of distribution (2009). A total of 882 respondents completed the survey for a response rate of nearly 37%. Important results from this study included that female students were much more likely than male students to report being constrained by not knowing how to use the free weight section safely (M = 3.40, SD = 1.143; M = 2.68, SD = 1.166, respectively) and that male students suggested that they were more likely to participate than female students (M = 3.07, SD = 1.182; M = 2.96, SD = 1.235, respectively) at the Student Recreation Center (SRC) if they were not as involved with other activities. This information can be used to guide the expansion planning of future SRC projects and to help improve the participation habits of students at the case institution.

我使用学生娱乐中心，但如果...，我将更多使用它：了解男女对学生娱乐中心使用的限制

研究发现，学生参加校园娱乐活动的次数与学业成绩（例如毕业率和平均成绩）之间存在正相关关系（Huesman，Brown，Lee，Kellogg和Radcliffe，2009年）。尽管健身设施的使用与学习成绩之间有很强的相关性，但有些学生选择不去参观，而一些使用健身设施的学生可能由于限制（障碍）而无法最大限度地利用此类设施。这项研究的目的是了解在新英格兰中型大学中使用校园娱乐设施的局限性。此外，本研究试图了解有助于增加当前用户对娱乐中心的使用的管理措施的类型。在线调查已分发给随机样本（N = 2）使用改良的Dillman分配方法（2009）在2013年秋季的所有校园休闲游客中有400位）。共有882位受访者完成了调查，回复率接近37％。这项研究的重要结果包括：女生比男生更有可能因不知道如何安全使用自由举重部分而受到限制（分别为M = 3.40，SD = 1.143； M = 2.68，SD = 1.166）男性学生建议，如果他们与其他学生的参与程度不同，则他们比女性学生（分别为M = 3.07，SD = 1.182，M = 2.96，SD = 1.235）参加活动的可能性更大。活动。这些信息可用于指导未来SRC项目的扩展计划，并帮助改善案例机构中学生的参与习惯。
