EU27: COVID-19 impact on physical activity level

In 2022, a survey on the sports habits of Europeans revealed slightly more than a third of Europeans continued to be physically active but less frequently during COVID-19. Similarly, an equivalent proportion of respondents stated that their level of physical activity remained the same as before during the COVID-19 pandemic. This statistic depicts the impact of COVID-19 on the frequency of sport and physical activity in the EU as of 2022, by level of activity.
