DISABILITY

The participation rate in sport and physical recreation activities of those with a disability or long-term health condition (68%) was lower than those with no such condition (79%). While those who had no specific restriction appear more likely to participate (73%), there is not enough evidence to indicate that the rate is statistically significantly higher.

Almost 37% of people who participated in sport and physical recreation had a disability or long-term health condition, which was lower than the proportion of non-participants who had a disability or long-term health condition (50%).
