Abstract (2. Language): 
Purpose: Human capital is essential in organizations providing sports services. However, there are few studies that examine what practices are carried out and whether they, affect sports organizations achieve better results are. Therefore the aim of this paper is to analyze the practices of human resource management in private fitness centers and the relationship established with organizational performance. Design/methodology: Questionnaire to 101 managers of private fitness centers in Spain, performing exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and linear regressions between the variables. Findings: In organizations of fitness, the findings show that training practices, reward, communication and selection are positively correlated with organizational performance. Research limitations/implications: The fact that you made a convenience sampling in a given country and reduce the extrapolation of the results to the market. Originality/value: First, it represents a contribution to the fact that there are no studies analyzing the management of human resources in sport organizations from the point of view of the top leaders. On the other hand, allows fitness center managers to adopt practices to improve organizational performance.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Objeto: El capital humano es imprescindible en organizaciones que prestan servicios deportivos. Sin embargo, son pocos los estudios que analizan cuáles son las prácticas que se llevan a cabo y si éstas, repercuten en que las organizaciones deportivas consigan mejores resultados. Por esta razón el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las prácticas de gestión de recursos humanos en centros de fitness privados y la relación que se establece con el rendimiento organizacional. Diseño/metodología/enfoque: Cuestionario a 101 gerentes de centros de fitness privados españoles, realizando análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio, y regresiones lineales entre las variables. Aportaciones y resultados: En organizaciones de fitness, los hallazgos muestran que las prácticas de formación, recompensa, comunicación y selección tienen una correlación positiva con el rendimiento organizacional. Limitaciones: El hecho de que se haya realizado un muestreo de conveniencia y en un país determinado reduce la extrapolación de los resultados al mercado. Originalidad / Valor añadido: En primer lugar, supone una contribución el hecho de que no existen estudios que analicen la gestión de los recursos humanos en organizaciones deportivas desde el punto de vista de los máximos dirigentes. Por otro lado, permite a los gestores de centros de fitness la adopción de prácticas para mejorar el rendimiento organizacional.
