Sport and Active Recreation in New Zealand: 16-Year Adult Participation Trends, 1998-2014

This report uses data from three ‘point in time’ national Sport NZ surveys to examine participation trends over a 16-year period: the 1997/98 New Zealand Sport and Physical Activity Survey, the 2007/08 Active New Zealand Survey, and the 2013/14 Active New Zealand Survey. However, the report only provides findings for the two time points of greatest distance, 1998 and 2014, because a downward trend in participation is evident.
