Findings from the 2007/08Active New Zealand Survey

INTRODUCTION
Content
This sport and recreation profle presents inormation about participation in tramping among New Zealandadults aged 16 years and over. It is compiled rom inormation collected through the 2007/08 Active NZ Surveyand includes:
•participationlevels;•proleofparticipants;•participationpatterns;and•volunteeringlevels.
Methodology
Sample
A total o 4,443 adults aged 16 years and over participated in the 2007/08 Active NZ Survey. Among the
participants,389(189men;200women)reportedtrampingatleastonceduringthe12monthsprecedingtheinterview.The4,443interviews(whichwerecompletedovera12-monthperiodbeginninginMarch2007)were
stratifed by month and by the 17 regional sports trust catchment areas.
The Survey
TheActiveNZSurvey(aninterviewer-administered,face-to-faceself-reportsurvey)consistedoftwodata
 collection tools:
1.asportandrecreationsurvey;and
2. a seven-day physical activity recall diary.The sport and recreation survey was used to collect inormation about participation levels in various sport andrecreation activities. Participants reported the sport and recreation activities they participated in over threedierent timerames: during the 12 months, our weeks and seven days preceding the interview. Participantsreported a range o other sport and recreation inormation including where they participated in activities,participation in volunteering, instruction to improve perormance and involvement in clubs and centres.The seven-day physical activity recall diary assessed the requency, intensity and duration o sport and recreationactivities participated in during the seven days preceding the interview. The ollowing inormation was collectedor each day o the previous week:
1.thespecicactivitiesparticipatedin(e.g.tramping);2.thedayonwhichtheactivitywasundertaken(e.g.wenttrampingonMondayandSaturday);
3. the total time spent participating in each specifc sport and recreation activity (e.g. went tramping on
Saturdayfor90minutes);
4. the amount o time spent at a moderate intensity (e.g. o the 90 minutes spent tramping on Saturday,
60minuteswasspentatamoderateintensity);and
5. the amount o time spent at a vigorous intensity (e.g. o the 90 minutes spent tramping on Saturday,
20minuteswasspentatavigorousintensity).
The inormation rom the diary was used to determine the time spent and the intensity at which adultsparticipated in a specifc sport during any one week. Because o low participation levels during the weekpreceding the interview, time-related inormation is not available in this profle.

Ethnic Groupings
In the 2007/08 Active NZ Survey, participants were able to identiy with multiple ethnicities. Consequently, the
samepersoncouldberepresentedindifferentethnicgroups(e.g.MäoriandNZEuropean).Therefore,whenthe
percentages or each ethnic group are summed they do not equal 100 percent. Ethnic-specifc fndings shouldonly be compared with estimates or the total New Zealand population as comparisons between ethnic groups
(e.g.MäoriversusPacic)arenotvalid.
Socioeconomic Position
The NZiDep tool was used to measure the socioeconomic position o participants. The tool consists o eightquestions which assess dierent domains o socioeconomic status. Based on the number o deprivation
indicatorsreported,participantsweregroupedintooneofvegroupsrangingfromtheleast(Quintile1)to
 
themost(Quintile5)disadvantagedsocioeconomicgroup.Thevegroupswere:
Quintile 1
–nodeprivationcharacteristics;
Quintile 2
–onedeprivationcharacteristicwasreported;
Quintile 3
–twodeprivationcharacteristicswerereported;
Quintile 4
–threeorfourdeprivationcharacteristicswerereported;and
Quintile 5
– fve or more deprivation characteristics were reported.Further inormation about the Active NZ Survey methodology is available atwww.sparc.org.nz/activenzsurvey.
Information Reported
All fndings relate to the New Zealand adult population aged 16 years and over. They are based on responsesrom at least 100 participants and have a relative standard error o less than 25 percent unless stated otherwise.All estimates have been weighted to correct or dierences between the sample population and the general
NewZealandpopulation.Percentestimates(e.g.50%)with95percentcondenceintervals(e.g.95%CI:45-55)
have also been age-standardised to the 2006 New Zealand adult population. Estimates without 95% percentconfdence intervals represent proportions within the sport-specifc population (i.e. adults who participated in the
activity),andhavenotbeenage-standardised.Condenceintervals(CI)havebeenusedtoindicateifsignicantdifferencesexistbetweendifferentgroups
 
(e.g.menversuswomen)inthepopulation.Findingsaregenerallyconsideredsignicantlydifferentifthereis
 no overlap between the confdence intervals o the percentage estimates being compared.The Active NZ Survey is a nationally representative survey o all New Zealand adults. The fndings in this profleare not directly comparable with other sources o inormation about tramping. This is because methodological
differences(e.g.thewaydataiscollected,thedenitionsused)contributetodifferencesinndingsbetween
dierent data sources.
