#ActiveLives Adult Survey Report ๐ฃ Activity levels have bounced back to pre-pandemic levels
There are 1.5m more active adults than in 2015/16
Results are a testament to those working & volunteering in physical activity as well as the significant investment of @DCMS and @TNLUK money, that has helped the sector to recover.
This is the first survey since the pandemic to cover a year without covid restrictions.
Itโs positive progress, but there's still work to be done.
