Abstract

BACKGROUND

Understanding participation in sport is important for sport policy, strategy and management. Most research regarding participation in sport report general trends in participation rates. However, as societies trends in leisure-time activities are changing, we need to also understand the settings of sport participation. The aim of this study was to investigate the settings of sport participation of children and adults across 13 major sports in Victoria, Australia.

METHODS

This study utilised data about sport participation collected in the AusPlay survey from a representative sample of adults and children in Victoria, Australia. For each of the 13 sports, the settings of participation were identified for 2020, 2021 and 2022. Respondents can report participation in a particular activity in more than one setting. Therefore, we use the term "instance of participation" to refer to a person playing a particular sport in a particular setting. We calculated the weighted frequencies and prevalences pertaining to sport participation instances in each setting.

RESULTS

In 2022 compared to 2020, overall participation was 1.1% higher for children and 1.2% higher for adults. For children and adults, the most popular sport for each year was swimming. In 2022, the next most popular sports for children were Australian football, basketball, gymnastics and soccer, and for adults' tennis, basketball, golf and Australian football. For children, approximately half of participation took place within a sports club or association setting (56-60%). For adults, approximately one third of participation took place within a sports club or association setting (36%). Much of the adult participation took place in non-organised settings. The largest increases in participation in clubs and associations in 2022 compared to 2020 for children was for, hockey, soccer, gymnastics, and Australian football. The adult participation in sports clubs or associations did not fair as well, with 8 sports decreasing the proportion of participation in this setting.

CONCLUSION

As a society, we continue to evolve in how we consume participation in sport, and sport policy, infrastructure and opportunities to play need to be directed towards those particular settings and modes of delivery of sport where and how individuals want to play.

摘要

背景

了解参与体育运动对于体育政策、战略和管理至关重要。大多数关于参与体育运动的研究报告了参与率的总体趋势。然而，随着社会休闲活动趋势的变化，我们还需要了解体育运动的参与环境。本研究旨在调查澳大利亚维多利亚州 13 项主要运动中儿童和成人的运动参与环境。

方法

本研究利用了来自澳大利亚维多利亚州代表性成人和儿童样本的 AusPlay 调查中收集的关于运动参与的数据。对于每一项运动，都确定了 2020 年、2021 年和 2022 年的参与环境。受访者可以在多个环境中报告参与某项活动。因此，我们使用“参与实例”一词来指代一个人在特定环境中进行特定运动。我们计算了每个环境中与运动参与实例相关的加权频率和流行率。

结果

与 2020 年相比，2022 年儿童的总体参与率提高了 1.1%，成人提高了 1.2%。对于儿童和成人来说，每年最受欢迎的运动都是游泳。2022 年，儿童的下一个最受欢迎的运动是澳大利亚足球、篮球、体操和足球，而成人的是网球、篮球、高尔夫和澳大利亚足球。对于儿童来说，大约一半的参与是在体育俱乐部或协会的环境中进行的（56-60%）。对于成年人来说，大约三分之一的参与是在体育俱乐部或协会的环境中进行的（36%）。许多成年人的参与是在非组织的环境中进行的。与 2020 年相比，2022 年儿童参与俱乐部和协会的人数增幅最大的是曲棍球、足球、体操和澳大利亚足球。而成年人参与体育俱乐部或协会的情况则不太理想，有 8 项运动参与该环境的比例有所下降。
