8.6.3 Reasons For Not Exercising
In the adult Health and Lifestyle Survey conducted during 2003 (this question not asked
in later surveys), people who felt they did not undertake enough exercise were asked
the reasons why this was the case. Their responses are presented in Table 127.
People could provide more than one reason so the percentages across each row may
sum to more than 100%. Relatively few reported lack of transport was an issue in
undertaking insufficient exercise for most wards (6% or less) with the exception of
Bransholme East (8%), Bransholme West (9%), University (10%) and Avenue (14%).
Less than 10% of residents in West Hull reported no facilities near their home as a
reason for their lack of exercise with the exception of Avenue (12%) and Newland
(13%). Up to one quarter of Hull residents reported that cost was a reason they did not
take enough exercise, and this was mainly in the most deprived areas of Hull. However,
the three most common reasons for not exercising enough were insufficient time, lack of
will power, and illness or disability.
