METHODOLOGY
• During January and February of 2013, a total of 42,356 online interviews were carried out with a nationwide sample of individuals and households from the US Online Panel of over one million people operated by Synovate/IPSOS. A total of 15,770 individual and 26,593 household surveys were completed. The total panel is maintained to be representative of the US population for people ages 6 and older. Over sampling of ethnic groups took place to boost response from typically under responding groups.
• The 2013 participation survey sample size of 42,356 completed interviews provides a high degree of statistical accuracy. All surveys are subject to some level of standard error — that is, the degree to which the results might differ from those obtained by a complete census of every person in the US. A sport with a participation rate of five percent has a confidence interval of plus or minus 0.21 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level. This translates to plus or minus four percent of participants.
• A weighting technique was used to balance the data to reflect the total US population ages six and above. The following variables were used: gender, age, income, household size, region, population density and panel join date. The total population figure used was 287,138,000 people ages six and older.
• In this year’s report we have changed the definition of “inactivity.” In the past, we had included only those participants who report no activity in any of the 126 activities listed for the data year. This year we included 19 sports/fitness activities that require minimal to no physical exertion. We also added a “calorie burning” component.
• The results of this study were validated by correlation with retail data (SIA RetailTRAK™ produced by the Leisure Trends Group), sales and orders data (aggregated by Sports Marketing Services for SIA), and skier rider visit data (from the Kottke End of Season report produced by the National Ski Areas Association). The results of that validation exercise indicated that survey respondents were reporting activity for the current season when questioned about 2011. The participation data is therefore presented as activity for the 2012/2013 season in its entirety.

Snowfall patterns this season resulted in heavier participation in the late season, after this survey had been conducted. Retail sales data and
NSAA’s Kottke End of Season (skier/rider visits) report indicate that participation numbers were much healthier in the February to April time
