 Understanding variations in participation across sports - statistical modelling  Every sport has unique characteristics which will influence its level and patterns of participation. General findings included:  Gender gap: women are less likely to participate across most of the sports tested (athletics, badminton, cricket, cycling, football, golf, rugby league, rugby union and squash).  Asian ethnicity: of the 11 sports, Asian people are significantly less likely to participate than other ethnicities in athletics and rugby union but more likely to participate in badminton and cricket  Club sports: for the team based sports of rugby league, rugby union, cricket and football, there is a negative relationship between sports club membership and gym membership  Family sports: in contrast to many sports, frequency of participation in cricket and swimming increases with the number of children in the household. Furthermore, for tennis and badminton, having older children (rather than younger children) increases the frequency of participation. spx Sport England research
