<p>The figures for women who report having taken part in boxing since 2015 are detailed
in the table below (data from the Active Lives Survey). I welcome the growth in women
taking part in the sport, we are determined to get more girls and women playing sport,
something we set out in our sport strategy, <em>Sporting Future</em>.</p><p> </p><p>The
predecessor to the Active Lives Survey, the Active People Survey, collected data from
October 2005 to September 2016 - data is available online:<a href="https://www.sportengland.org/research/about-our-research/active-people-survey/"
target="_blank"> https://www.sportengland.org/research/about-our-research/active-people-survey/</a>.
Owing to the different methodologies employed, the data sets from the two surveys
are not directly comparable.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>
