The Sports Think Tank has today welcomed the launch of Game of Life by the Sport & recreation Alliance.

The Game of Life brings together, for the first time, all of the best evidence to support those gut feelings we have about sport. But it is also even-handed, pointing out where the evidence is patchy or where more research is required.

In many cases, the evidence proves the point outright, in others it points the way towards an answer without establishing it conclusively.

Put together, however, the case for leading a more active lifestyle is compelling – both personally and societally.

Sport and recreation is not a panacea, but as this evidence volubly demonstrates, it can certainly be a significant part of the solution.
