Active NZ has been running in one form or another since 1997. Since 2017, we survey a sample of New Zealanders registered on the electoral roll every month through our research partner, Verian.

Based on data collected through the Active NZ survey between 2017 and 2023 from 31,127 young people and 128,353 adults, this report highlights how activity levels, attitudes and preferences have changed over seven years in play, active recreation and sport for New Zealanders aged 5-plus.
