Increased Participation Shown By Over 55's 27 April 2008
Sport England Active People Survey 2 - Interim Results Show Over 55's Now More Active! Sport England is currently repeating its Active People Survey across England (first completed in 2005/2006) and has released interim results from the first quarter. The early results show that the number of adults (16 and over) taking part in 30 minutes of moderate intensity sport or active recreation three times a week has increased by 0.7%, from 19.0% to 19.7%, equivalent to 359,423 people. Encouragingly the results also show that it is the 55 and over age range which has seen the biggest improvement with a 1.3% increase from 10.9% to 12.2%. The top three activities showing the greatest increase for adults overall were gym use, outdoor football and road running. The results should be viewed with a note of caution as they only refer to results for the first quarter of the survey, comparing statistics from mid September 2005 to mid December 2005 with statistics from mid September 2007 to mid December 2007. Sport England advise that these results may not necessarily be replicated in future quarters. For more information visit the Sport England press release on their website |   |
