RESUMEN
At the macro-level, it is hard to test the hypothesis that increased schooling in a country will raise labour productivity but sectoral analyses may be tractable. In sports, output is homogenous in that countries' achievements are measurable in the same way. We examine country performances at the Chess Olympiad and the Olympic Games, contrasting tournaments where players in the first use only their minds but most in the second supply substantial physical effort or work with costly physical capital. Modelling success in either leads to a set of results familiar from sports literature: country performance depends on economic resources, represented by population size and per capita income. Supplementary variables capture over-performance by communist/ former communist countries. We then introduce a measure of average years of schooling. This significantly reduces the role of income, especially in chess. It also takes power away from the 'communist' variables, especially at the Olympics. These results suggest that much of any effect from income is mediated through schooling: investment in education is associated with elevated productivity. Increased productivity is observed in both settings, one a knowledge-intensive sub-sector and the other dependent to a significant extent on either raw physical strength or expensive capital input.

RESUMEN
This paper analyses the influence of the emotional aspects in the future intentions of users of sport centers. The sample was made up of 512 customers of three private sports instalations and we used adapted scales of perceived value, general satisfaction, future intentions and emotions. Were studied analysis of internal consistency reliability of the scales, mean, estandar deviation, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. The results showed that the used scales were reliable and accurate and the customers analized gave high scores above satisfaction and emotional experience of the service. The study confirms that the emotional value was the dimension with more influence in the prediction of the future intentions
El presente trabajo analiza la influencia que tienen los aspectos emocionales en las intenciones futuras de los usuarios de centros deportivos. A través de una muestra compuesta por 512 usuarios de tres instalaciones deportivas privadas y diversas escalas adaptadas de valor percibido, satisfacción general, intenciones futuras y emociones, se realiza un análisis de consistencia interna de dichas escalas, un descriptivo de media y desviación estándar, análisis de correlación de Pearson y una regresión lineal múltiple. Los resultados mostraron que las escalas utilizadas eran fiables y la valoración de los usuarios fue alta en cuanto a la satisfacción y la experiencia emocional con el servicio. Se concluyó que el valor emocional fue la variable más influyente en la predicción de la intención futura
