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: ‘Still thinking about the physical activities you have done in the last 7 days, in total how many hours did you spend being physically active for sport, exercise or recreation?’ .
For young people: 'In total in the last 7 days how many hours did you spend being physically active for sport, PE, exercise or fun?’.
