Time spent being active

Sport England run an Active Lives Children and Young People Survey (covering years 1-11), which is published annually and gives a comprehensive view of how people are getting active

This survey covers the key themes included in the Active Lives Children and Young People Survey for levels of activity (during the school day and outside school) and types of activity. This survey can then be used in conjunction with other surveys from the (1) Physical Activity and Behaviours category e.g.Attitudes to Physical Activity; Time spent not being active; School travel mode and parental physical activity practices; Sleeping habits; (2) Perceptions of Self category e.g. Physical Self Perception Profile; and (3) Mental wellbeing category, to draw some key associations and linkages between physical activity and wellbeing
