Nationally, using the Health Survey for England’s results for 2008, using self reported responses, 39% of men and 29% of women and 32% of boys and 24% of girls met the Chief Medical Officer’s previous recommended physical activity levels. The accelerated figures based on an objective week of accelerometry showed that only 6% of men and 4% of women met the minimum recommendations.
Using the Active People Survey for 2009/10, 17.3% of adults were participating in 3 sessions of 30 minutes moderate or greater intensity activity per week. There is huge potential therefore to increase physical activity levels and create an Olympic legacy.
