Athletics participation overview
Athletics is the 3rd most popular activity for women behind swimming and going to the gym.
Women’s participation has continued to increase since 2007-8, with the most popular activities being running and jogging rather than the more traditional track and field sports.
Around 0.74 million women take part in athletics at least once a week.
Between 2008-09 and 2009-10 there was no significant change in women’s participation in athletics.
