Aussies run, ride and workout at home during COVID-19`s shutdown of sport
With organised sport on hold due to COVID-19, Australians turned to running, riding, and yoga to stay active and socially connected according to Sport Australia`s latest AusPlay survey results that identify sport and physical activity habits across the country.
The results, which focus on the early impact of COVID-19 on sport and physical activity participation and includes data from Sport Australia`s other survey tool, the Community Perceptions Monitor, also found children bore the brunt of the sport shutdown.
Sport Australia Acting CEO Rob Dalton said AusPlay was an important way to track how Australians engage with sport and physical activity, while the Community Perceptions Monitor captured public attitudes towards various aspects of sport.
