“…Modern campus facilities have been designed to provide more than just access to fitness equipment and recreation areas; they are increasingly becoming a destination for fitness, health, wellness, academics, and social connection (Bogar, 2008;Wilson et al, 2020). This investment in campus recreation has well-documented benefits that extend beyond health and fitness to student retention, academic performance, stress reduction, social connections and community, and self-confidence (Das et al, 2021;Forrester, 2015;Litwiller et al, 2021;Makubuya et al, 2020;Milton et al, 2020;Sanderson et al, 2018;Soria et al, 2022;Zegre et al, 2022).…”

Background: Investment in campus recreation has well-documented benefits, and the need for improved health and wellness also extends beyond students. Creating a campus culture that values health and well-being can be transformative for the health of the overall community.Aim: This study aimed to understand the impact of an institution-wide, 42-day virtual fitness initiative that included faculty, staff, students, and graduates. Methods: Participants were invited to complete two surveys (pre-and-post) consisting of questions about physical fitness, goal setting, and connection to the college community. Throughout the duration of the program, participants logged their physical activity (e.g., step counts) through a web-based platform.Results: Survey respondents reported exercising a greater number of days each week during the program and were more likely to set and achieve their fitness goals. The leading unexpected benefit of participation in the program, especially among our graduates, was developing social connections with other participants. Conclusions: Institution-wide fitness programs can promote health awareness and motivate faculty, staff, students, and graduates to improve fitness and connect socially.

“…Outcomes empirically associated with sport club participation include healthy body composition (Chu & Zhang, 2018), fitness benefits (Lower et al, 2013), leadership development (Haines & Fortman, 2008), practical competence (Flosdorf et al, 2016), resilience (Soria et al, 2022), friendship (Czekanski et al, 2023), and academic performance (Lifschutz, 2019). However, there is little indication of whether these findings reflect targeted outcomes sport club programs are intentionally trying to achieve.…”

Collegiate sport club programs are increasingly expected to demonstrate effectiveness and impact, as such the evaluation of program success is critical. Current evaluation methods are often subjective and lack standardization across programs. Unlike other recreational programs, sport clubs have unique organizational structures, with student officers responsible for various tasks related to club operations with unclear measurable outcomes. This study aimed to address this gap by investigating how collegiate recreation departments evaluate sport club program success and identifying critical success indicators. A Delphi design was used to gather expert opinions, and qualitative and quantitative data analysis was employed. The findings highlight various evaluation methods employed by administrators, including annual assessments, participant interviews, and point systems. Furthermore, indicators of success encompassed club activities, operations, and status, as well as participants’ experiences and development. These findings provide valuable insights for program administrators to tailor support and enhance the effectiveness of collegiate sport club programs.
