Source: Active People Survey 4 quarter 3 (July 2009 to July 2010). Total bar (combining light and dark blue) shows the number of adult participants in that sport defined as a 30 minute,
moderate intensity session at least one day in the previous 28 days. Of these, club members are defined as participants that have been a member of a sports club so that they can participate in
that sport in the last four weeks. Other participants are the total participants minus club members.

Commercial sector is a growing influence on participation rates
Finding profitable
demand
Developing
innovation
• Commercial companies driving the
running ‘boom’
• 5 a side football numbers driven by
commercial sector
• Continuing to evolve products and
services to maintain interest
• Different ways of satisfying
demand for participation
13
• Over 1 million people running in
commercial events each year
• Powerleague plans expansion
from 44 to 200 sites in next two
years
• Gym classes constantly
changing products
• British Cycling largely driven by
Sky
• Ping! Ideas from the commercial
arts sector
Local authorities will have different approaches to sport in response to
funding cuts
