The following key terms are used throughout the AusPlay survey (AusPlay) reporting and other collateral, and a definition
below in alphabetical order.
Adult
For the purposes of AusPlay an adult is a person aged 15 and over. For the landline sample, an adult was randomly selecte

this person was not prepared to take part in the survey. For the mobile sample the phone owner was interviewed.
Barriers
Non-participants (those who had not participated in any sport or physical activities during the past 12 months) were asked

Child
For the purposes of AusPlay a child is a person aged 0-14. The responding adult aged 18 and over was asked whether he/s

method; i.e. the child aged 0-14 who had had the most recent birthday would be selected. Questions on the selected child
sport or physical activity outside of school hours were then asked of the responding adult.
Duration
For each activity done within the last 12 months, all players were asked how long the most recent session had lasted. Ther
maximum limits set. An average duration was calculated for each person from the durations they gave for their different a
an indicative session duration for reporting durations per person.
Frequency
For each activity done within the last 12 months, all adult and child players were asked how many times, in total, they had
or training). The frequencies given by each person for each of their activities were summed for reporting the total frequen
related or non-sport-related activities per person.
The 95% confidence interval for a survey result is calculated as the survey result plus or minus 1.96x the standard error. Fo
100,000 has a standard error of 10,000 then the 95% confidence interval is 100,000 +/- 1.96x10,000 = 100,000 +/- 19,600
The amount 1.96 x the standard error is called the margin of error. Thus knowledge of the margin of error is sufficient to c
intervals. For this reason the AusPlay sampling error values are presented as margin of error values not standard error valu
be calculated by dividing the margin of error values by 1.96.
Another way of summarising the sample error is to calculate the relative margin of error which is the margin of error divid
expressed as a percentage.

Non-player involvement
Adult respondents were asked whether they had been involved with any sports in a non-playing role, such as an official, co

Number of activities
Up to ten separate activities (at the output level) could be recorded for each adult and child player. The number of activiti

For each activity recorded, adults were asked whether they had played it ‘through an organisation – like a club or a gym; o

respondents did not conceptualise the notion of an organising ‘agent’ in the way intended by the question. Therefore the

Payment
For each organised activity played in the last 12 months outside of school hours by child players, and for each activity play
through an organisation or at a venue by adults, a number of questions were asked about payment. Firstly, respondents w
paid money to the organisation or venue for that activity. Those who had paid were then asked how much they had paid t

Sport-related activity
OFFICIAL #_x000D_
AusPlay captures a wide variety of activities (see ‘Participation by adults’ and ‘Participation by children’) and a distinction i
between sport-related activities and non-sport-related physical activities.
Sport-related activities include, for example, team sports (basketball, football, Australian football, cricket, netball, etc.), at
jogging), swimming, cycling, golf, etc. These are typically activities related to National Sporting Organisations (NSOs), altho
may not play the activity through an affiliation with the NSO.
