Taking Part: The National Survey of Culture, Leisure and Sport Progress report on PSA3: Final estimates from year two
DCMS recently released the results from the year two Taking Part Survey which shows the levels of participation in cultural and sporting activities. DCMS's and Sport England's performance, along with all the other cultural agencies, is gauged against this survey (ie the Public Service Agreement (PSA) targets .
Participation by priority groups (women, black and other ethnic minority groups, people with a disability and lower soci-economic groups)
In every case, those from priority groups continued to have lower rates of participation in sport than the adult population as a whole.
Women fall short in active sport
Unfortunately across the whole of the sport and cultural sector PSAs the only measure with statistically significant change was that for adult (16 plus) women's participation in 'active sport' (at least once in the previous 4 weeks excluding any walking - but including recreational cycling and light intensity sports such as snooker, yoga, ten pin bowling etc.).
Adult women's participation in 'active sport' from baseline year (July 05 to July 06) to Year 2 (July 06 to July 07) declined from 47.7% to 46.2%.
Men's participation in moderate intensity sport has increased
The positive news is that there has been a statistically significant increase in adult (16 plus) men's participation in 'moderate intensity sport' (at least 3 days a week moderate intensity of at least 30 minutes duration including brisk recreational walking). However, as men are not a priority group this is not a PSA indicator.
Adult men's participation in moderate intensity sport went up from 23.5% to 25.0%
