Less than a third (27%) of UK adults say they are as physically fit as they would like to be following the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new research commissioned by ukactive.
ukactive’s poll of just over 2,000 adults, conducted by Savanta ComRes**, found that over a quarter (27%) said they were less active than before the pandemic hit the UK in March 2020, with 51% reporting the same activity levels, and 17% saying they were more active.
Asked if they were as physically fit as they would like to be, exactly half (50%) of those questioned said they were not, and only 27% reported they were happy with their fitness levels (the remaining 23% were either unsure or neither agreed nor disagreed).
Of those UK adults who were unhappy with their fitness, 56% said their fitness levels prevented them from taking part in vigorous activities and sport, such as swimming, running, playing netball and football. And 12% said their fitness levels even stopped them from doing gentle everyday activities such as showering and getting dressed, washing up, folding clothes, and strolling around the house, park, or shops.
