answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2023 answer text <p>Wearable devices often provide real-time feedback to the user, including step counts, heart rate, and calories burned, and it is this type of feedback that can promote increased self- awareness and drive motivation to maintain or increase physical activity levels.</p><p>Research suggests that the consistent use of wearable devices can help to establish healthier routines and habits, leading to sustained physical activity. However, effectiveness varies based on individual factors, design considerations, and alignment with users' motivations and preferences.</p><p>No discussions have been held directly with manufacturers on this matter.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 20/09/2023 14:17:29 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2023 answer text <p>The government is committed to supporting economic growth in the sector, and ensuring this translates into tangible outcomes that span grassroots participation through to elite performance. In turn, this can help stimulate the contribution sport makes to growing the national economy.</p><p>The government’s previous Sport Satellite Account estimated that the gross value added (GVA) of the sport sector in 2019 was £48.9 billion. This marked an increase of 2.9% between 2018 and 2019, and of 20.4% between 2010 and 2019, in real terms. In addition, major sporting events have significant benefits for the national economy and for attracting investment to the UK. The hosting of the 2022 events (excluding Commonwealth Games), had a direct economic impact of £132 million, supported 1,600 jobs and had a 6:1 return on investment. The short-term impact alone of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games contributed almost £871 million GVA to the UK economy.</p><p>In our new sport strategy, Get Active, we have set out our ambition to deliver a new economic snapshot that articulates the economic value and growth opportunities that exist within sport in the UK. This will replace the previous government Sport Satellite reporting mechanism.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 19/09/2023 13:45:33 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
