Under the backdrop of the National Fitness and Healthy China strategy,fitness facilities,as the spatial carrier of the sports-built environment,play a significant role in enhancing the health levels and well-being of urban residents.This study used the Gaussian two-step floating catchment area(2SFCA)method and multilevel linear models to explore the age-stratified characteristics of residents'fitness habits and the spatial features of accessibility to commercial and public sports facilities.The study further revealed the differential impact of accessibility on satisfaction levels across different age groups,proposing policy recommendations for healthy urban planning.The findings indicate that:1)The elderly group has the lowest proportion of non-exercisers,exhibiting a higher demand for low intensity and moderate-low intensity physical activities,while the youth group shows a polarization with higher proportions of non-exercisers and individuals engaging in moderate-high intensity activities.2)There is a distinct spatial heterogeneity in the accessibility of the two types of facilities,with communities around those with higher public facility accessibility having fewer nearby options,and closer proximity to commercial fitness facilities,with accessibility increasing as the number of facilities grows.3)The accessibility of fitness facilities has a significant positive effect on satisfaction,with public facility accessibility having a more substantial impact,and the reduction of satisfaction caused by educational level,health status,marital status,household registration is more significant in the elderly group.4)The accessibility of both types of fitness facilities is more critical for the youth and elderly groups,with public facility accessibility having a lesser impact on the middle-aged group,and the effect of commercial fitness facility accessibility being insignificant.
