This section of the be active website aims to keep you up to date with the latest research findings here in South Australia.

It is vital for the State to have quality research on the physical activity levels (and trends) of South Australians, so that we can gain a thorough understanding of the issues our population are facing, and work out how best to tackle these issues.

A major survey, conducted every three years, is the South Australian Physical Activity Survey for adults, and this survey plays a major role in setting policy directions in the area of physical activity throughout South Australia.
