Greater Manchester Adult Activity Levels May 2019-20

Greater Manchester Overview

The latest results from the Active Lives Survey shows a downturn in activity levels across Greater Manchester. The region now sees 72.0% of adults moving (active and fairly active), this equates to 1,621,700 adults. Since the first Active Lives release, November 2015/16, there has been an increase of 0.5% in the adult population moving, this is five times the national increase of 0.1%. However, activity levels in Greater Manchester still sit below the national average with 74.6% of adults moving nationally.

When this latest release is combined with activity data on children and young people, our progress towards our two key targets is clear.
