1 METHOD
This Overview Report is produced by a partnership of seven of the major governing bodies
and trade associations in U.S. sports and leisure. Each partner produces more detailed reports
on their specific areas of interest but this Overview Report summarizes topline data about
levels of activity. The overall aim of this report is to establish levels of activity and identify key
trends in sports, fitness and recreation participation in the U.S. For more detailed results,
please contact the relevant partner, listed below.
During January 2011/early February 2011 a total of 38,742 online interviews were carried out
with a nationwide sample of individuals and households from the U.S. Online Panel operated by
Synovate. A total of 15,086 individual and 23,656 household surveys were completed. The total
panel has over 1 million members and is maintained to be representative of the U.S.
population. Over sampling of ethnic groups took place to boost response from typically under
responding groups.
A weighting technique was used to balance the data to reflect the total U.S. population ages 6
and above. The following variables were used: gender, age, income, household size, region,
and population density. The total population figure used was 283,743,000 people aged 6 and
above.
The 2011 participation survey sample size of 38,742 completed interviews provides a high
degree of statistical accuracy. All surveys are subject to some level of standard errorthat is,
the degree to which the results might differ from those obtained by a complete census of every
person in the U.S. A sport with a participation rate of 5% has a confidence interval of plus or
minus 0.21 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. This translates to plus or minus 4%
of participants.
The Physical Activity Council is made up of the following industry leading organizations:

3 PARTICIPATION TRENDS
The overall participation trends for sports, fitness and related activity participation shows a
slowing of the downward trends that were previously reported in the past 2 years. While not
back to the participation levels from 2008, the data being reported shows that a vast majority of
Americans are getting off the sidelines and back out on the court, gym and fields of play.

4 ADDITIONAL FINDINGS
This section examines some of the influencing factors when it comes to participation trends.
Overall Activity Levels
The PAC survey measures participation in 119 sports, fitness and recreational
activities. 76% of Americans, ages 6 and over, took part in at least one activity (216.6
million people). This

The economy in 2010 had a major impact in spending on sports, fitness and
recreation activities. However, there were some signs of improvement over the data
reported in 2009. Fewer active participants said they had spent considerably less
and fewer had put off some purchases, but both those categories completely out
number those who had spent more.
Only 6% of active
participants said they
had spent more in
2010 than in 2009.
(note: % of actives =
those Americans age
6+ who took part in at
least 1 of the 119
activities).

Looking forward, there are positive signs for 2011 with significant numbers of active
participants set to increase spending. The leading increase as reported in this years
survey is for joining or re-joining a health club followed by increased spending on
travel to take part in sports and recreation. As the economy starts to get better, we will
see equipment purchase intentions start to pickup also. The trend over the past 2 years
has been to delay the purchase of new sports equipment and extend the replacement
cycle. As this gets stretched out and products become worn, replacements will be
purchased.

As we have been reporting in the past 2 years, P.E. is the pathway to all the activities
listed. For example, you are 3.2 times more likely to take part in team sports if you have
P.E. than if you

An analysis of growth/decline rates in terms of core and casual participants reveals increasing
casual participants goes hand in hand with increasing core participants for the fastest growing
sports. For the sports that are declining, the loss of Core participants is the main driver.
For the top 25 fastest growing sports, the casual participants had increased by 16% and the
core participants by 8% for an overall growth of 12%. The bottom 25 sports by comparison, the
casuals had declined by 3% but the core had declined by 8%.

After 2 years of negative participation growth for most of the mainstream team sports,
this past year we are starting to see a turnaround in participation for sports like Tackle
Football, Soccer, Basketball and Baseball. All are up in the low single digits with respect
to both total and core level participation.
Lacrosse and other niche team sports like Rugby and 2 of the 3 versions of Volleyball
are experiencing continued strong growth with Lacrosse leading the way with 33%
growth among the core participants. Given their growth trajectory, Lacrosse is likely to
go over the one million core level participants mark in next years report. Rugby is
another of the niche team sports that is also growing with just over 20% growth.
After 2 years of strong participation performance, indoor team sports like Ice Hockey
and Indoor Soccer have cooled off. Both sports are very dependent on facility
availability and given the participation growth of the past 2 years, the ice time and court
time may not be available to accommodate any new growth at the current time.
Fitness
Class based fitness and exercise programs like Zumba continue to drive the positive
participation performance for these types of fitness activities.
Group cycling continues its rapid growth rate as the younger fitness enthusiasts
embrace this high performance group exercise activity.
For most age groups, swimming for fitness or weight training are the 2 most frequently
mentioned activities that people indicate they would like to participate in.
While Pilates has shown an awesome 10 year growth trend, the past 2 years have seen a
decline in Pilates participation. Maybe some of those participants went over to Yoga as
participation in Yoga is up across all levels of participation for the year. Yoga is more
class based while Pilates is more of an individual activity. The Gen Y fitness participants
are showing a higher propensity to go with group oriented programs.
Running and Walking for Fitness continue to show strong and consistant growth.
Running is up almost 13% overall while walking comes in at almost 4% year/year
growth.
Page 13
Individual Sports
Indoor individual sports/activities like Bowling, Darts, and Billiards are showing small
declines across most levels of participation.
Racquet sports including Tennis, Table Tennis, Squash and Badminton are all showing
positive growth numbers in participation from the low single digits for Tennis and Table
Tennis to double digit growth for Squash and Badminton. Racquetball is up slightly for
all participation but down in the low single digits when it comes to core level
participation.
Page 14
10 PARTICIPATION DATA
Throughout the report significant changes have been highlighted in orange. Note: The population from 2000 to 2009
increased by 9% - so sports that have increased 9% have shown no significant change since the year 2000.
