Supplementary notes

Results are grouped according to the area where respondents live, which may not be the same as the area where they walk or cycle.
'Walking' in this table refers to any continuous walk of at least 10 minutes, irrespective of purpose. Previous years' surveys asked about walking for at least 5 minutes. Therefore, the results in this table are not directly comparable with those from previous years.
