EXECUTIVE SUMMARYReport ContentBased on information collected through the 2007/08 Active NZ Survey, this report provides anoverview of physical activity behaviours among adults (aged 16 years and over) living in theGisborne region, in particular, their level of involvement with sport and recreation as participantsand volunteers and their overall level of physical activity. The findings for the Gisborne region arealso compared with the national profile for sport, recreation and physical activity in this report.
Key FindingsCompared with New Zealand adults, a similar percentage of adults in the Gisborne region:
participated in at least one sport or recreation activity per week (New Zealand: 79%;
Gisborne: 81%) and per year (New Zealand: 96%; Gisborne: 98%);participated in at least one organised competition or event per year (New Zealand: 37%;Gisborne: 37%);
were members of clubs or centres in order to take part in sport and recreation activities(New Zealand: 35%; Gisborne: 26%);
received instruction from a coach, instructor, teacher or trainer to help improve their performance(New Zealand: 40%; Gisborne: 45%);
were volunteers for a sport or recreation activity (New Zealand: 25%; Gisborne: 28%);
Adults in the Gisborne region were significantly less likely than New Zealand adults to:
have achieved the national physical activity guideline by undertaking 30 minutes of moderateintensity physical activity on at least five days out of seven (New Zealand: 48%; Gisborne: 35%).
Adults in the Gisborne region were significantly more likely than New Zealand adults to:
be in the inactive group, that is, they achieved less than 30 minutes of moderate intensity physicalactivity in total over seven days (New Zealand: 13%; Gisborne: 26%).
In the Gisborne region:
walking and gardening were, in that order, the two most popular sport and recreation activities;
surfing/body boarding and hunting were on the 10 most popular activities list for adults in theGisborne region, but not on the list for New Zealand adults;
surfing/body boarding, hunting and diving/scuba diving were on the 10 most popular activitieslist for men in the Gisborne region, but not on the list for New Zealand men;
fishing was on the 10 most popular activities list for women in the Gisborne region, but not onthe list for New Zealand women; and
men were significantly more likely than women in the Gisborne region to have participated in anorganised competition or event per year (Men: 53%; Women: 22%).

rtd fdIn this report:
regional fndings (based on the total regional sample) are compared to national fndings; and
within each region, comparisons by gender are made (i.e. men versus women).
The regional fndings presented in each o the 17 regional reports are associated with margins oerror ranging between 4% and 12%. Findings based on the total regional sample have marginso error at the lower end o this range. When the data are analysed by gender, the fndings areassociated with margins o error at the higher end o this range.
The sample size per region, thereore, is large enough to produce reliable high-level fndings
according to the aorementioned comparisons, but is not large enough to produce reliable fndingsbased on more in-depth analyses (e.g. regional fndings by age). The comparisons noted in thisreport provide insights into how the regional activity profle compares with the activity profle or allNew Zealanders and any dierences in participation that may exist between men and women.
Although dierences between regional and national fndings or between male and emale fndingswithin a specifc region may be large, these dierences may not always be (statistically) signifcant.I regional fndings are signifcantly dierent to national fndings or i there are signifcant dierencesbetween men and women within a specifc region, this will be noted in the text o this document.More inormation regarding margins o error is available at www.sparc.org.nz.
