Greater Manchester Activity Levels May 20-21: Ethnicity
A detailed breakdown of the latest Active Lives research from Sport England exploring the differences in activity levels by ethnicity across Greater Manchester.
Since baseline, November 15-16, South Asians have seen the greatest increase in inactivity since baseline (+8.4%), whilst this has been a steady increase, there has been a much faster increase in inactivity since November 2018-19 with rates rising 13.6% in this time. White British, White Other and Chinese have also all seen increase in inactivity since baseline, but to a much smaller degree (+0.1%, +1.4% and +1.0% respectively). Whilst those who identify as Black have seen a decrease since baseline (-2.5%) there has been significant fluctuation in rates of inactivity with rates peaking 12 months ago at 46.2%. Other ethnic groups and those who identify as Mixed have also seen a decline in inactivity (-4.2% and -12.3%), however, there is not a full timeseries available making it harder to understand the patterns seen amongst these cohorts.
