The Sports & Fitness Industry Association published the first 25 of their 94 single sport and fitness participation reports. These reports provide an in-depth analysis & breakdown of participation demographics by specific sport or fitness activity. The reports released today represent the most downloaded reports of 2014 by SFIA members. The total 94 single sport reports continue to make it the largest and most diversified collection of participation studies available to the industry.  

“These reports allow people to drill down into specific sports’ data. The detailed dissection of participation demographics provides key figures that our companies can utilize for their business needs,” said Cameron Jacobs, Manager of Communications and Research, SFIA. “The specific information allows industry professionals to have a better understanding of the participants who purchase their products and provides insight for those looking to expand into new categories.”
