If you’d like to explore the adult or children and young people's survey data, Active Lives Online lets you do just that. It captures data since November 2015.
Activity Check-in
Our Activity Check-In tracks a small number of metrics on behaviours and attitudes from both adults and children and young people towards sport and physical activity over time, revealing the impact of changing circumstances in a rapidly changing world.

Local Area Insights
Whether you need information to support a grant application, advocate for facilities, or to help you understand the people you work with, our Local Area Insights tool can help you provide the evidence base.
Use Local Area InsightsMarket Segmentation tool
Why do some people play sport? And why do some simply not want to join in? We’ve developed 19 sporting segments to help you understand the nation's attitudes to sport, their motivations and barriers. You can use the tool to view data down to postcode level.
Use Market Segmentation toolOpenActive
OpenActive promotes the use of opportunity data to help people get active. The goal is to make this data on what, where and when physical activity sessions happen, openly available. This "opportunity data" includes details of a yoga class ("how much will it cost?") through to badminton court availability ("where and when is a court available?").
OpenActive also provides the sport and physical activity sector with:
- Free open data courses and e-learning
- A data standard and activity list to ensure we're all using the same language when sharing opportunity data
- A peer-to-peer network of Data Champions, helping to spread the word across the country.
