2. About the survey
This presentation is the Energize STW headlines based on the first Active Lives Children and Young People Survey report produced by Sport England
The full report summarises the activity levels of young people (aged 5 -16) in England from Sept 2017 – July 2018
The data from this survey will be released in two parts. This is part one which focuses on behaviours.
Part two will be released in March 2019 and will focus on attitudes to gain a better understanding of impact of confidence, motivation and perceived physical competence upon behaviour and activity levels.
