The survey found the population take part in over 230 activities, ranging from the traditional (football, swimming) to the alternative (frisbee, rock climbing).

Fitness-related activities dominate the top 10 thanks to their wide appeal to both men and women.

Sports like cricket, rugby union and netball have a narrower participation base, but still rank in the top 25 most popular activities.

Unsurprisingly, more men (13.4%) play football than women (1.2%), but more women (17.1%) swim than men (10.3%).
