ALBERTA CENTRE FOR ACTIVE LIVING

2005 ALBERTA SURVEY ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: ALBERTANS BECOMING MORE ACTIVE

A recent study by the Alberta Centre for Active Living shows that the number
of active Albertans has increased significantly over the last five years
(www.centre4activeliving.ca/Research/ResearchUpdate/2005/ActiveLivingJune.ht
m).


Currently, about 60% of Albertans are active enough to receive health
benefits. This figure compares with approximately 57% in 2002 and 54% in
2000.

This study was based on data collected in 2000, 2002, and 2005 for the
Alberta surveys on physical activity. To see the 2005 survey on physical
activity, visit www.centre4activeliving.ca/Research/ResResources.html.

The Alberta Centre for Active Living is a provincial non-profit research and
education centre affiliated with the Faculty of Physical Education and
Recreation at the University of Alberta. Through funding from the Alberta
Sport, Recreation, Parks & Wildlife Foundation, the centre surveyed a
representative sample of adults across the province in 2000, 2002, and 2005.

For a summary of some of the survey's main findings, please see our recent
media release (www.centre4activeliving.ca/ContactUs/MediaRoom.html).
