A Study on Spectating Intention in Local Professional Sports Teams and Life Recovery : The Case of Club A

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between spectating intention in local professional sports team and life recovery among disaster-affected residents. A comparison of spectating intention in local professional sports teams revealed that there was a significant difference in the life recovery. In other words, residents who have a high spectating intention have a higher life recovery than residents who have a low spectating intention. As a result of this study, it was suggested that a relationship between spectating intention in local professional sports teams and life recovery might be possible, but it was not sufficient as a variable to explain life recovery. In the future, a survey that considers other variables will be necessary to accurately explain spectating intention in local professional sports teams.
