Sports Participation in Scotland
Since 1987, sportscotland has collected data on sports participation by adults (aged 16 and over) in Scotland.
The sample size is made up of 6,000 adults and 1,450 children per annum and the analysis uses three-year averages to improve the consistency and reliability of the data. The survey is carried out every other month throughout the year.
Participation is defined as having taken part at least once within the last four weeks (normally referred to as ‘at least once a month’ in this report). The analysis of participation patterns is based on data from the most popular two months for each activity to ensure seasonal activity is adequately represented.
