What is the Gera Active Life Score (GALS)?

The Gera Active Life Score (GALS) is a 0–100 index computed from real Sport England Active Lives survey data. For each local authority: raw = activePct − inactivePct + 0.5 × fairlyActivePct, then normalised across all 317 English LAs so the highest-scoring area scores 100 and the lowest scores 0. The full formula is on the methodology page.

What percentage of English adults are physically inactive?

24.7% of English adults (16+) were inactive (fewer than 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week) in November 2024–November 2025, per Sport England Active Lives data.
