Fitter Futures has extracted information from the Sport England Active People Survey 2005/2006 (www.webreport.se/apd/) to show the current participation levels of people in the midlife age range (approx 45 - 65). 

The information is presented in ten year age bands from 35 up to 74 to allow for comparison, and data is provided for the level of 3x30 participation per week, average of once a week, and zero participation.  Data is provided to allow for national, regional, county and local authority comparisons across the Eastern Region and is presented in table and graph forms.

Data on the National Governing Body sports and activities most frequently participated in by the midlife age range has also been extracted, which includes comparisons of the participation levels in the Eastern Region for these activities compared to national participation.

It is hoped that the information will add to existing analysis of the Active People Survey Data to support planning and focus at regional, county and local levels.  To access the documents, please visit the Useful Documents 1 page.
