The English may be obsessed with sport but for half the population this only involves picking
up the TV remote control. A study of nearly 364,000 people, commissioned by Sport England, reveals
half of the adult population do no exercise at all. The survey reveals just one in five adults do sport or
recreational activities for 30 minutes.
The top three activities are walking, swimming and going to the gym. Amongst the minority
sports, nearly a million people play badminton at least once a month, compared to netball which has
just over 150,000 regular players. Pilates is a growing activity with nearly 300,000 participants.
The results also show a general difference between the north and the south of the country. It
seems that more sport is played in the south than in the north. However, there are exceptions to this
general rule. For example, the Olympics will take place in one of the least sporting parts of the
country; only 14.5 percent of the population in East London do 30 minutes of exercise a week.
Sports participation is the lowest in the poorest parts of the country. These results might make
the government improve sport facilities in poor areas. The sports minister said the results were
disappointing. We have invested 30bn in sports facilities over the last ten years. However,
individuals must start to take responsibility for their health. We cant force people to switch off the TV,
get up from the sofa and do sport.
More men take part in sport than women, 27.3 percent compared with 18.5 percent. Sue
Tiballs, of the Womens Sports Foundation, said the results were shocking. Media coverage
dedicated to womens sport is almost non-existent. Until these issues are addressed, and the
perception that doing sport and exercise is a male pursuit is altered, we are concerned that the
number of women taking part will remain at these worrying levels.
