title: The student's perception and use of outdoor gyms in the city of Groningen
creator: Zieleman, J.A.
description: This study aims to look at the student’s use of outdoor gyms in the city of Groningen. It focuses on the   differences between international and Dutch students and on how outdoor gyms could be improved. The   research included field work, a survey and several interviews. There were 92 survey respondents and eight   interviews. The statistical analysis of the survey showed that there was no significant difference between   the use and awareness of outdoor gyms between international and Dutch students in the population. Only   a small percentage of the students in the survey used outdoor gyms. Reasons for students to not use outdoor   gyms were that they were exercising enough already, feeling uncomfortable being watched while exercising   and not knowing how to use the different exercise apparatus. Most students are missing guidance.   Therefore, it is important that outdoor gyms are promoted more, and exercise classes are used to introduce   outdoor gym use. Although the interviews showed a lot of contradicting needs, there are certainly things   that outdoor gyms could improve upon when looking at the design. For example, bars from the right   material that are not too thick or too slippery.
