摘要：O desenvolvimento humano pleno implica na melhoria constante do bem-estar da população. Dentre as ações que impactam nele estão as atividades esportivas e o lazer. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo teve os seguintes objetivos: (a) verificar se os investimentos acumulados a partir de 2002 impactaram na melhoria do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) de 2010; (b) verificar se o IDH de 2010 fez melhorar os investimentos na Função Desporto e Lazer per capita em 2011/2012, quando comparado com o resultado de 2002. A análise das médias e medianas permitiu concluir que: os investimentos acumulados não ajudam a explicar a melhora do IDH de 2010; o aumento no investimento per capita em 2011/2012 na Função Desporto e Lazer não pode ser justificado pela melhoria do IDH apresentado pelos municípios do Piauí. Nesse sentido, o IDH não é uma variável capaz de explicar os investimentos realizados nas políticas públicas de esporte e de lazer. ABSTRACT. Investment in the sport and leisure funtion by levels of the Human Development Index . A full human development implicates the constant improvement of population’s well-being. Among actions that affect this, are sports and leisure activities. In this manner, the present study established the following objectives: (a) verifying if cumulative investments since 2002 had an impact on the enhancing of Human Development Index (HDI) identified in the 2010 PNUD’s report; (b) verifying if the 2010 HDI has improved per capita investments in the Sport and Leisure Function (SLF) from 2011/2012, when compared to SLF from 2002. The analysis of averages and medians allowed us to conclude cumulative investments have not helped explaining the improvement in HDI from 2010; the raising in per capita investments in 2011/2012 in the SLF cannot be justified by the improvement presented by municipalities in Piauí regarding 2010 HDI. Thus, HDI is not a variable capable of explaining investments in public sports and leisure policies.
