 abstract = {Given that many universities spend large sums of money supplying sports  facilities for student use, comparatively little is known about the factors that  influence the quantity of student sporting participation. This paper presents  evidence which suggests that the quantity of student sports participation is  adversely affected by greater hours of work and increased by greater sports  literacy and the decision to augment social capital. Effective investment in  sports facilities by Universities would meet students’ demands and not  simply increase the range of sports facilities available to students.},
