Description
Summary:A full human development implicates the constant improvement of populations well-being. Among actions that affect this, are sports and leisure activities. In this manner, the present study established the following objectives: (a) verifying if cumulative investments since 2002 had an impact on the enhancing of Human Development Index (HDI) identified in the 2010 PNUDs report; (b) verifying if the 2010 HDI has improved per capita investments in the Sport and Leisure Function (SLF) from 2011/12, when compared to SLF from 2002. The analysis of averages and medians allowed us to conclude cumulative investments have not helped explaining the improvement in HDI from 2010; the raising in per capita investments in 2011/12 in the SLF cannot be justified by the improvement presented by municipalities in Piau regarding 2010 HDI. Thus, HDI is not a variable capable of explaining investments in SLF.
