SB02

Primary Research

I created a survey and asked the students in the studio to fill it out.

The survey aims to assess their participation in sport now, when they were in secondary school and when they were in college/post 16 education. I also asked their gender and ethnicity to see if this influenced the result. This survey is not massively reliable as the majority of the students asked are white and female. The survey doesn't take into account the socio-economic situation of the student.

Demographic of people asked.

All participants are students at Leeds Arts University. They are all aged between 19 and 23 (estimate). 

27 Students took part of which 17 were female and 10 were male.

Ethnicity
93% of students asked were white British. This means ethnicity must be discounted as an influencer in this survey as there is not a large enough range.

100% of those asked took part in sport or exercise in Secondary School.

Only 30% of those asked took part in sport or exercise in College / Post 16

44% of those asked are currently taking part in regular sport or exercise. 

Female Results

53% of females asked do not currently take part in sport or exercise.
76% of females asked did not take part in sport or exercise in College/ Post 16

Male Results

50% of males asked do not currently take part in sport or exercise.
60% of males asked did not take part in sport or exercise in College/ Post 16

Male Vs Female.
It is clear that the drop out rate at the age of 16 is more prominent for females. Although, results show that rates pick up again after College / Post 16.

The most common reason for drop out within females is time constraints and considering themselves 'not good' at sports. For males the reasoning is similar, but being too 'lazy' is also a common reason.
