About This Report:

The research involved 5,454 boys and girls aged 7 to 11-years-old across England. It shows that even in primary school, almost twice as many girls as boys report that a lack of confidence stops them being active in school.

The YST survey aims to identify the barriers that prevent primary-aged children from being more active. It builds on the charity's 2017 Girls Active survey which looked at secondary aged girls' attitudes towards PE and physical activity and the challenges they face in getting active.
