Physical activity

Are you meeting the government's recommended daily physical activity guidelines?

Physical activity levels in England are increasing, but those achieving the guidelines are still in the minority. Physical activity can be one of the major factors in reducing obesity in England.

We cover a number of aspects of physical activity which may be able to help including:

  • what types of physical activity people do
  • physical activity among different ethnic groups
  • physical activity and its relationship with overweight
  • why people do/don't participate in sport
  • participation in PE and school sport
  • trends in how we travel and spend our time.
