Progress<br />
1: Underactive<br />
Aucklanders are<br />
More Active<br />
Participation in sport, play and active<br />
recreation by currently underactive or inactive<br />
Aucklanders is increased.<br />
a) Underactive or inactive tamariki and rangatahi (5 to 18 years)* participation rates in play,<br />
sport, active recreation and physical education are significantly increased<br />
b) Underactive or inactive young females (5 to 18 years)* participation rates in play, sport,<br />
• COVID-19 has significantly impacted participation rates for young people<br />
- This is particularly evident in organised sports where participation rates are down 20% compared to 2019 (Source: Active NZ)<br />
- The impact on organised sport has particularly affected male participation rates, especially Māori and Pacific boys and young men<br />
active recreation and physical education are significantly increased<br />
- While the percentage of young Aucklanders doing 420+ minutes of exercise a week is lower than the national average, and has decreased during subsequent<br />
c) Sport and recreation organisations have tamariki and rangatahi as their top participation<br />
lockdowns, the gender gap (both nationally and in Auckland) has almost closed (Source: Active NZ). A potential explanation for this is the decrease in organised sport<br />
priority.<br />
negatively impacting male participation and increase in active recreation positively impacting female participation<br />
• 100 identified primary and intermediate schools/kura (61,838 students) received support from the Healthy Active Learning workforce. Due to the success in these schools/<br />
kura, a further 100 schools/kura have been identified to receive support as part of Healthy Active Learning phase 2 in Term 3 <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

2: Anywhere,<br />
anytime activity<br />
All Aucklanders have sport, play and active<br />
recreation choice, which provides flexibility,<br />
Play, sport and active recreation providers adapt to the needs of tamariki and rangatahi in<br />
designing more relevant, flexible and accessible offerings.<br />
Play<br />
• The percentage of young people reporting participation in Play has increased compared to 2019, with Auckland no longer below the national average for<br />
meets the needs of a changing population, and<br />
participation in play (Source: Active NZ)<br />
encourages physical activity as part of daily life.<br />
• However there are still gaps in terms of gender and ethnicity (Source: Active NZ): Asian tamariki report less participation in play than other ethnicities, and girls tend to<br />
report less participation in play than boys<br />
• The Neighbourhood Play System Pilot ended in June <strong>2022</strong>, and its success will see this system roll out in <strong>2022</strong>/23<br />
• $544,140 of Tū Manawa funds were approved for play-related projects<br />
Sport and active recreation<br />
• COVID-19 restrictions saw a decrease in organised sport but an increase in active recreation<br />
• National trends show that return to organised sport has been slow, with young people choosing active recreation activities instead (Source: Active NZ <strong>2021</strong>)<br />
• Areas of increase include walking for fitness (+12%), cycling (+4%), and weight/cardio workouts (+4%)<br />
• Areas of decrease include swimming (–7%), athletics/track and field (–6%) and football (–4%)<br />
• 22 schools across Auckland participated in the Voice of Rangatahi Survey, resulting in almost 3000 responses from Auckland students and comprising 21.5% of total<br />
survey respondents. An 'Insights to Action' initiative was piloted in five schools, using insights from the survey to make changes within the school that would encourage<br />
more physical activity<br />
• $2.9 million of Tū Manawa funds were approved for active recreation projects<br />
• $1.8 million of Tū Manawa funds were approved for sport projects.<br />

4: Keeping pace<br />
with a changing<br />
Auckland<br />
Sport and recreation organisations are<br />
representative of and relevant to Auckland’s<br />
communities and can adapt to change.<br />
a) Sport and recreation organisations have more inclusive leadership<br />
b) Sport and recreation organisations are using technology and shared resources to<br />
increase participation and improve organisational efficiency<br />
• Māori and Pacific peoples have been most impacted by COVID-19 as reflected in their participation rates. (Source: Active NZ)<br />
- Pacific boys and young men have been one of the most negatively impacted groups with only 39.9% doing 420+ minutes of exercise a week (compared to a 58.7%<br />
national average for all ethnicities and genders (Source: Active NZ)<br />
c) Sport and recreation organisations have more inclusive leadership<br />

d) Sport and recreation organisations are using technology and shared resources to<br />
Auckland' self-reported an overall decrease in activity during the August to December COVID-19 restrictions in Auckland<br />
increase participation and improve organisational efficiency.<br />
- However, participants who had already built-up exercise habits were less likely to report a decrease in exercise<br />
- Active NZ data only shows a minor decrease in Asian tamariki and rangatahi activity levels in Tāmaki Makaurau, however these are still significantly lower (40.3% for<br />
boys and 36.6% for girls) than the national average (Source: Active NZ).<br />
