During 2024 we were approached by a team from Cardiff and Vale Local Public Health to discuss the questions used in the National Survey for Wales (NSfW) around physical activity, health and sport. Following these initial conversations, in early 2025 we will now be working alongside the Public Health Wales’ Physical Activity Programme via a grant allocation, to lead on a phased project to analyse and facilitate improvement of the physical activity data landscape in Wales. The first phase will focus on the NSfW, exploring in detail what the data can tell us about physical activity in Wales and to identify areas that could be strengthened. This will be done through creation of a Physical Activity Data Expert Working Group to review the current physical activity and sport-related questions and afford suggestions to enhance future data.
