Abstract

Participation in physical activities is universally accepted in the scientific environment as a health good for life. In this study, several fitness gyms in the city of Tirana were taken into consideration, where, through a questionnaire, we recorded factual data on the gyms participation in fitness. The data was processed with the SPSS 26 package where we analysed the percentage and frequency of participation ia these gyms. This is a very significant indication of the effectiveness of these gyms. Also, the data from this study highlights that there is a considerable number of gyms that employ more than one instructor; gyms with 1 instructor and up to 4 employed instructors. The data are described as minimum, maximum and average. Data from the questionnaire on the gender distribution of instructors in gyms with 1 instructor, where male instructors predominate N=25 and female N=4. These data are very necessary for a continuous monitoring of the population and especially for the monitoring of health parameters.
