Evaluate the value of healthy wellbeing across different types and levels of sport and physical activity participation and across different socio-economic or demographic groups.
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 17: Understanding mental wellbeing and subjective wellbeing in relation to sport and physical activity.
