It replaces the Active People Survey, which ran from 2005 to 2015. The survey provides the largest sample size ever established for a sport and recreation survey and allows levels of detailed analysis previously unavailable. It identifies how participation varies from place to place, across different sports, and between different groups in the population. The survey also measures levels of activity (active, fairly active and inactive), the proportion of the adult population that volunteer in sports on a weekly basis, club membership, sports spectating and wellbeing measures such as happiness and anxiety, etc. The questionnaire was designed to enable analysis of the findings by a broad range of demographic information, such as gender, social class, ethnicity, household structure, age, and disability.</p><p>The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic developed rapidly during 2020 and 2021. Fieldwork for the Active Lives survey continued throughout the pandemic, which covered periods Nov 2019-20 and Nov 2020-21. The data from Nov 2021-22 onwards covers periods without any coronavirus restrictions.&nbsp;</p><p>More general information about the study can be found on the Sport England <a href="https://www.sportengland.org/research/active-lives-survey/">Active Lives Survey</a> webpage and the <a href="https://activelives.sportengland.org/">Active Lives Online</a> website, including reports and data tables.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Data Formats</span><span style="font-weight: 700;"><br></span>Users should note that the Active Lives data are deposited in SPSS format. The UKDS also provides the data in Stata and tab-delimited formats, but due to the differing nature of the SPSS and Stata software packages and the structure of the Active Lives data, Stata users may experience some issues with labels or variable formats. We therefore recommend that users analyse the data in SPSS where possible.</p><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Latest edition information</span></div><div><br></div><div>For the second edition (February 2025), the data file was resupplied, with updated County Sports Partnership (CSP_2025) and inequalities metric (equalities_metric_2024_GR4) variables included.</div><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR><p>Topics covered in the&nbsp;<span style="font-style: italic;">Active Lives Survey</span>&nbsp;include:</p> <ul> <li>Sport and physical activity</li> <li>Health behaviour</li> <li>General health and wellbeing</li> <li>Sports volunteering</li> <li>Sport spectating</li> <li>Club membership</li></ul> November 2016 - November 201701 November 201601 November 2017 England IndividualsNational Individuals aged 14+ living in England during 2016-2017.
