Some population groups are less likely to participate in sport and physical activity than others. This puts them at an increased risk of having a range of health problems such as cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, cancer and obesity. It may also reduce their opportunities for social interaction.
It is important to identify groups with lower levels of physical activity, in order to target programs and strategies to increase their participation.
