Being physically active and taking part in sport is <strong>on</strong>e way people can try to avoid becoming<br />
overweight and obese. Based <strong>on</strong> estimates from the nati<strong>on</strong>al Active People Survey, 17.8%<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> adults (aged 16 and over) in <str<strong>on</strong>g>Stoke</str<strong>on</strong>g>-<strong>on</strong>-<strong>Trent</strong> were undertaking at least 3 x 30 minutes <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
moderate intensity activity in 2010/2011 (compared with 21.8% in England). Whilst below<br />
nati<strong>on</strong>al estimates, the percentage <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> local adults physically active is higher than the 14.7%<br />
recorded in 2007/2008, and this increase has led to a reducti<strong>on</strong> in the gap between <str<strong>on</strong>g>Stoke</str<strong>on</strong>g><strong>on</strong>-<strong>Trent</strong><br />
and England.<br />
