Examine how experiences of sport and physical activity in childhood and youth influence behaviours and attitudes in later life.

Background

Sport England seeks to tackle inequalities in sport and physical activity, providing opportunities to people and communities that have traditionally been left behind, and helping to remove the barriers to activity.

Understanding how people think, feel, experience, and behave towards sport and physical activity is fundamental in shaping inclusive, equitable policies and practices. We need greater evidence on what works so we know how best to do this.

The question above relates to the following Sport England Area of Research Interest: ARI 13. Understanding long-term impacts of inequality in sport and physical activity across the life course.
