The Active People Survey was commissioned by Sport England and carried out by Ipsos MORI.  It measures levels of participation in sport and active recreation including not only the type of activity but also the frequency, intensity and duration.  In addition, a range of other important sport related measures are included such as club membership, involvement in competition, receiving tuition or coaching and contributing to sport through voluntary activity. The survey also provides wide ranging demographic information to enable the identification of participation by different social groups.
