Sport Facts  

Sport England has recently published detailed sport evidence packs, which bring together data from the Active People Survey, the Taking Part Survey, and Sport England's market segmentation.

Each pack includes information on the following: participation rates in each sport across key demographic groups, participation by region, the profile of sports participants, the segments most likely to participate in the sport, young people's participation (11-15 year olds), seasonal variation in participation, drop off in participation by age, latent demand, growth by sport, and participation in organised sport.

These packs have been prepared primarily to support the National Governing Bodies of Sport in the development of their 2009-2013 plans but provide a detailed overview of sports facts relevant to all in the sports sector.

Sport England has also provided comparator profiles of sports participation, which bring together all of the data in the packs below. This enables comparisons to be made across different sports. More
