Abstract
This article uses data from Sport England's Active People Survey (APS) to explore trends and demographic influences on participation in sporting and physical activities. On the basis of the analysis undertaken, this article considers the extent to which the APS data can be useful both to scholars of sport studies and to inform sport policymakers. Multivariate models are employed and a range of indicators of participation are utilized as dependent variables. These include participation in sport and exercise in general as well as participation in specific activities namely walking, cycling, swimming and athletics. The article concludes that analysis of the APS data can shed light on interesting trends and relationships that could assist an understanding of sport participation and inform policymakers.
