The Taking Part Survey complements Sport England’s Active People survey by telling us what people think of sport. We now have a defined picture of where and why they are taking part in sport.
Jennie Price, Chief Executive Sport England welcomes the findings of the report.
“The Taking Part survey is an essential part of Sport England’s customer jigsaw as it tells us exactly what people think of sport. Nearly half of adults cite poor health as one of the main barriers to starting to do some physical activity. To address this, Sport England is encouraging people to start walking, cycling or swimming. These sports are easily accessible, build physical fitness and often provide the first step on the road to a life fully involved in sport."
