The number of adults in England who play sport at least three times a week has reached 6.93 million, continuing the positive upward trend over the past four years.
The new research which Sport England published today shows we are now 115,000 closer to our legacy goal of getting one million people playing more sport by 2012/13. It also shows that over 600,000 more people are playing sport regularly since 2005 when London won the bid to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
