Active People Survey, 2010-2011

The <span style="font-style: italic;">Active People Survey</span> commenced in October 2005 and was commissioned by Sports England. The primary objective of the survey was to measure levels of participation in sport and active recreation and its contribution to improving the health of the nation. Sport and active recreation included walking and cycling for recreation in addition to more traditional formal and informal spots. When measuring sports participation the survey not only recorded the type of activity but also the frequency, intensity and duration of the activity. <br><br>The <span style="font-style: italic;">Active People Survey</span> was replaced by the <span style="font-style: italic;">Active Lives Survey</span> in November 2015.  <span style="font-style: italic;">Active Lives</span> is a new survey with a different methodology and intended to measure different outcomes from those in the <span style="font-style: italic;">Active People Survey</span>, however there are similarities as it was important that data could be reproduced on some of the key measures.<br><br>More general information can be found on the Sport England <a href="https://www.sportengland.org/research/active-lives-survey/" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Active Lives Survey</a> webpage and the <a href="https://activelives.sportengland.org/" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Active Lives Online</a> website, including reports and data tables.<br><br><br> For the second edition (October 2015), the data file was replaced with a new version to reflect changes in the Sport England core measure, the ‘1x30’ indicator. The documentation has also been updated.

《活跃人群调查（Active People Survey）》于2005年10月正式启动，由英格兰体育（Sports England）委托开展。该调查的首要目标是评估体育与主动休闲活动的参与水平，及其对改善国民健康的贡献。体育与主动休闲活动除涵盖更为传统的正式与非正式体育项目外，还包括为休闲目的开展的步行与骑行活动。在衡量体育参与度时，该调查不仅记录活动类型，还一并统计活动的频率、强度与持续时长。

《活跃人群调查》于2015年11月被《健康生活调查（Active Lives Survey）》取代。《健康生活调查》为全新调查项目，采用差异化方法论，旨在衡量与《活跃人群调查》有所区别的成果，但二者存在共通性——确保部分核心指标的数据可实现兼容复用，是本次调查设计的重要考量。

更多通用信息可查阅英格兰体育的《Active Lives Survey》官方网页与《Active Lives Online》官方网站，其中包含各类研究报告与数据表格。

该数据集的第二版（2015年10月）更新了数据文件，以适配英格兰体育核心指标“1x30”的调整变更，同时同步更新了配套文档资料。
