Sport England’s 2ndActive People Survey results are now available.  191,000 people were interviewed for this survey, which was commissioned by Sport England following the success of the first Active People Survey, two years ago. The large sample size enables Sport England to identify how participation varies from place to place, between sports and between different groups in the population.

 

The survey also provides a baseline for sports being funded by Sport England, against which their progress towards individual targets will be measured over the next four years. Swimming remains the most popular sport, with athletics (including running and jogging) and cycling the fastest-growing.

 

Other key facts from the Active People Survey 2 include:

  • More than 10 million adults are members of a club where they play sport
  • More than 7.5 million adults have received tuition to improve their sporting performance in the past 12 months
  • 6 million adults have taken part in competitive sport during the past 12 months.
