The report also highlights that the activity levels of the elderly and people with disabilities have increased significantly. This is a positive sign, indicating that efforts to promote sports and physical activities among these groups have been fruitful. However, it also points out that more efforts are needed to support people in the poorest areas. There are still inequalities in sports participation, and people in some economically disadvantaged areas may face more difficulties in accessing sports resources and facilities.

The record - high sports participation in England is of great significance. It not only reflects the improvement of people's health awareness and quality of life but also has a positive impact on the development of the sports industry and social cohesion. With the continuous improvement of the overall activity level, it is believed that England will achieve better results in promoting sports for all and building a healthy society in the future.
