London 2012

What's Your Sport? was developed with sports and performance psychologists at Loughborough University's School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences.
Sport and performance psychology expert Dr David Fletcher, who led the development of the test, says What’s Your Sport? is designed to help people get into sport.
“With a little under three months to go until the Olympics, most of us will be feeling inspired to get active,” he says.
“This tool helps people find sports they are most inclined to enjoy and be good at, so giving many the impetus to get started in finding an activity that they can really embrace and form a part of their lifestyle.”
Dr Knut Schroeder GP says: “Regular exercise is vital to a healthy lifestyle. In my experience, the best way for people to stay motivated is if they can find an exercise activity they enjoy.
“In this sense, this tool is great, as it helps people find sports they are best suited to, so hopefully they’ll be more likely  to take it up and keep active regularly.”
