      abstract = {Leisure and mass sports are very significant both socially  and economically. Physical activities contribute to forming  a healthier society. Skills and abilities developed by  sport promote people’s well-being and directly improve  their physical, mental and psychological performance this  way producing better quality of life. The state of health  of the workforce is a more and more frequent question in  developed and developing economies but mostly in the  western civilizations. Researches prove that those who are  more active phisicly can perform better at their work and  are more efficient in their jobs. They claim less sick  leave benefit and their health insurance costs are lower,  this way preserving the health of the workforce can be an  investment in the future. If we want the population to live  in a healthier way and do more sports only education and  motivation are not enough, it is very important to provide  the appropriate infrastructural background as well. People  can have a wide range of choice provided by the local  sports establishments and companies and the possibilities  resulting from sport infrastructure investments. The  effects of sport infrastructure investments and  developements are many folded and long-therm, but it is  worth approaching their benefits from different points of  view. Researching this topic can contribute to better  understanding of the society from the points of view of  health care, economy and sociology. The aim of our work was  to examine the sporting habits and sports consumption. In  order to get to know the consumers we carried out a survey  with 350 particiant with the help of an online  questionnaire. When analyzing it I focused on the answers  given by those who were active in sports, which was the 75%  of total sample. In the analysis of the answers and  relations between the questions and the different factors  we used the SPSS Statistics program. Providing sport  establishments and facilities and initiating such  investments are highly important for each region. From the  answers of the quesstionned we can learn what facilities  are available for the consumers and what they miss most in  the living area.},
