Survey for martial arts entrepreneurs: make your voice heard!

Sport matters to the people who take part in it. But sport is also valuable to society as a whole, as is the work of (martial arts) sports providers. This is now being researched. The VA calls on gym owners, promoters and other sports entrepreneurs to take part.

Sport and physical activity are very important for public health. Unfortunately, the number of adults who are overweight has not fallen over the past three years. Children have also become less physically active as a result of the coronavirus crisis. That has to change. Sports entrepreneurs play an important role in this. That is becoming increasingly clear. Politicians need to recognise this too.

To gain a clear picture of the social value of commercial sports provision, the Mulier Instituut (Dutch research institute for sport) is carrying out a short study, commissioned in part by POS (the platform for commercial sports providers) and the Vechtsportautoriteit. Rising energy prices and their consequences are also part of the questionnaire. Help commercial sport by completing this survey.

Society is considering how sport should develop further. Commercial martial arts providers must be part of that discussion. So make the voice of the martial arts entrepreneur heard and complete the survey no later than Tuesday 19 April.

You can move through the questionnaire using the ‘back’ and ‘next’ buttons. Your answers are not saved along the way, so you cannot close the questionnaire partway through and complete it at a later time. All information is processed into general statistical overviews. The privacy guidelines of the Mulier Instituut can be found here. If you have questions about the questionnaire, please contact Janine van Kalmthout.
