Active People Survey

The Active People Survey is the largest ever survey of sport and active recreation to be undertaken in Europe. The survey provides by far the largest sample size ever established for a sport and recreation survey and allows levels of detailed analysis previously unavailable. It identifies how participation varies from place to place and between different groups in the population.

 

The first year of the survey, Active People Survey 1, was conducted between October 2005 and October 2006, and was a telephone survey of 363,724 adults in England aged 16 and over. Results from the Active People Survey 1 were published in December 2006,

 

The second year of the survey, Active People Survey 2, began on 15 October 2007 and was completed on 14 October 2008. Active People Survey 3 (2008/9) began on 15 October 2008 and will run for 12 months until mid October 2009.
