27/01/17

New activities added as part of comprehensive national survey

Sport England’s ‘Active Lives’ survey, which runs 365 days a year, asks people aged 16 and over across England about the sport and physical activities they take part in. Results are published twice a year.

200,000 people completed the first round of the survey between November 2015 and November 2016, making Active Lives the biggest and most comprehensive survey of its kind and an important source of detailed and reliable information about what people do and enjoy.

Key statistics include:

• The number of adults who do less than 30 minutes of moderate intensity sport and physical activity per week
• The number of adults who do 150 minutes or more of moderate intensity sport and physical activity a week, meeting the guidelines recommended by the Chief Medical Officer
• The most popular types of activity
