Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The cost of living crisis threatens to \u201cturn the clock back\u201d when it comes to getting people more active, according to campaigners.<\/p>\n

More than a quarter of adults across the UK are now cutting their spending on physical activity and sport due to rising costs, according to new research.<\/p>\n

The survey, by charity London Sport, found more than a third agreed that the issue had limited their ability to afford equipment.<\/p>\n

A similar proportion said financial pressure had also discouraged them from using local leisure facilities.<\/p>\n

With the 10-year anniversary of the London 2012 Olympics later this month, the study also reveals that just over half of adults agree that the Games left a positive legacy. But that proportion dropped to less than half among those on lower wages.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhysical activity has already taken a big hit from the pandemic and now, across the UK, the cost of living crisis threatens once again to turn the clock back in terms of progress of getting people active to help their health and wellbeing\u201d said Emily Robinson, CEO of London Sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s disappointing that the anniversary of the Games brings a stark reminder that we need to do more to address the inequality and inactivity gaps within the capital and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is vital that government, local authorities and other decision makers have a renewed focus on making the benefits of being active available to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

The research, which was based on a survey of 2,000 adults across the UK, comes after funding agency Sport England last month acknowledged \u201ca concerning underlying picture\u201d, with activity levels among some groups falling \u201cat a worrying rate\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are also widening inequalities, with the least affluent being the most impacted,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

In June, a coalition of organisations in the physical activity sector called for urgent support for leisure facilities struggling with rising energy costs.<\/p>\n

According to research by UK Active, 79 per cent of public leisure facilities say that without support they are \u2018likely\u2019 or \u2018extremely likely\u2019 to cease operations within the next six months.<\/p>\n

The proportion of adults that are active fell to 61.4 per cent in the most recent figures. The government has been preparing to publish a new sports strategy.<\/p>\n
