Supplementary notes

Note: Young people are respondents aged 5-17 and adults are respondents aged 18 and older. Data has been weighted by the source to reflect the population.

According to the source, participants are people who have been physically active in sport or recreation in the past seven days, where this participation excludes any physical activity undertaken for work or chores. Participation can include physical activity undertaken to get from one place to another (active transport) if the respondent considers it to be for sport or active recreation.

The survey question was phrased as follows:
For adults: 'Thinking back over the last 7 days (not including today) have you done any physical activity that was specifically for the purpose of sport, exercise or recreation?'
For young people: 'In the last 7 days (not including today) have you done any physical activity specifically for sport, physical education (PE), exercise or fun?'
