Sports, exercise and physical activity: Public participation, barriers and attitudes
Quantitative research into the public's participation in, and attitudes towards, sport, exercise and physical activity.
The Tourism, Culture and Sport Group of the Scottish Executive commissioned a module of questions in Ipsos's Scottish Social Policy Monitor. The questions examined the public's participation in sport, exercise and physical activity, barriers to participation, and their attitudes towards sport and physical activity. It was designed to inform policies aimed at increasing the proportion of the Scottish population who exercise regularly.
