Increasing numbers of people across Bristol did not get enough exercise during the pandemic – a sign that successive lockdowns made the nation more sedentary.
Sport England, which promotes sporting habits across the country, conducts an annual survey measuring people’s activity levels to help gauge the public’s health and wellbeing. Someone is classed as physically active if they do the equivalent of at least 150 minutes of “moderately intense” exercise a week on average.
This could include walking, cycling, dance, fitness and other sporting activities. But it excludes gardening.
