ERASS 2001
Exercise, Recreation and Sport Survey (ERASS) 2001
The inaugural Exercise, Recreation and Sport Survey, or ERASS as it is known, measures Australians’ participation in sport and physical activity. It is the work of the Australian Sports Commission and the state and territory departments of sport and recreation.
The ERASS publication is a snapshot of the exercise, recreation and sporting habits of Australians’ 15 years and over. Future ERASS surveys will allow comparisons of figures from past years, enabling the forecasting and prediction of emerging trends in sport and physical activity.
The survey measured critical factors that clearly indicate the level of active participation in sport and physical activity in this country including:
- participation in organised and non-organised sport and physical activity
- type and frequency of sport and physical activity participation; and
- breakdowns of state/territory participation rates in sport and physical activity.
In conjunction with other research, these measurements will assist government at all levels, and the broad spectrum of sporting organisations, to base future funding and resource allocations on reliable statistical evidence.
