Significantly people from regional areas are more likely to participate through a club based structure and are more likely to volunteer and to be a spectator than those in the Adelaide metropolitan area. It is estimated regional communities have an estimated one third of adults participating in exercise recreation and sport via a club or association and almost a quarter are involved as a coach, official, umpire or administrator.〔 Participation rates for males and females are similar and while overall, participation rates decline with age it was more so with males, while women's participation rates remain constant until they are over the age of 65.〔 Research shows Walking, Running, Swimming, Aerobics/Fitness, Golf, Lawn Bowls, Weigh Training and Cycling to be the most popular sports with strong participation by both men and women in South Australia.〔 Historically not all sports have been available to women but that has changed with equal opportunity laws targeting discrimination based on gender. Differences in participation rates by men and women relate to the Football codes and Netball, which have in the past been limited by opportunities for participation by genders not traditionally associated with the sport.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sport in South Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
