In order to understand the levels of participation in sports and physical activities by Japanese, the Sasakawa Sports Foundation (SSF) has examined the statistical data gathered through the “SSF National Sports-Life Survey”, which has been conducted every other year since 1992. The 2022 SSF National Sports-Life Survey is now available to download.
This “SSF National Sports-Life Survey” measures the number of people aged 18 and over taking part in sports and physical activities across Japan in terms of frequencies, duration, and intensity. People take part in sports and physical activities in different ways, with many doing a range of activities including sports spectating and sports volunteering.
On March 24, 2023, we published a report on the latest survey results, “The 2022 SSF National Sports-Life Survey” (Survey period: June 10 to July 10, 2022). We also have the executive summary summarizing the main findings.
What impacts has the COVID-19 pandemic had on sports and physical activities, sports spectating, and sports volunteering? What is the current situation regarding sufficient physical activities for health and the amount of time spent being sedentary (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire: GPAQ)? The report includes the above results.
Upon request, we will provide raw data (including cross-tabulation results, text in Japanese only) from every National Sports-Life Survey taken to date. Interested parties should contact the SSF through the link below.
