Isles of Scilly residents have been officially named the most active in England.
While the biggest ever sports and recreation study has revealed that we are a nation of couch potatoes, Scilly News reported back in August that Islanders are leading the pack.
We published the interim results of the study three months ago - but the official statistics have now been released.
They show that half the population do not take part in any sport or active recreation at all.
Sport England, the agency that develops community sport, found that just one in five adults ? mainly young wealthy white men from the south-east - does the recommended 30 minutes of exercise three times a week.
But 32% of people on Scilly meet the 30 minutes criteria, compared to a national average of 21%.
Richmond upon Thames was the most active borough in mainland England with 29.8%. while areas hosting the 2012 Olympics, like Newham, are among the least active.
The South West was the second most active region, behind the South East.
The agency questioned 1,000 people in each of England’s 355 boroughs for the Active People Survey, which examines the participation of adults (16 years and over) in sport and active recreation in England.
It began in October 2005, and finished (with 363,724 completed interviews) a year later.
Minister for Sport Richard Caborn said the survey showed disappointing levels of participation in sport and called for individuals to take responsibility for their health and fitness.
But Liberal Democrat spokesman Don Foster said there should be more action and fewer statistics.
He pointed out that the cost of the survey - ?6 million of Lottery players’ money - was enough to pay for over 100 football pitches or two weeks’ gym fees for all of the 360,000 respondents.
