The number of women participating in sport and physical activity has increased by more than one million since 2005, according to the latest Taking Part survey.
Released by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), the survey examines participation in sport, heritage and the arts in England.
The latest report presents figures for the period January to December 2012 - which the report notes includes the period when the UK hosted the Olympics and Paralympics.
Since 2010 an increase of 1.2m people had participated in at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise a week - with 700,000 women.
The report also surveyed respondents' attitudes to London 2012 with 69 per cent supportive of the Games and 16 per cent reporting the UK winning the bid had motivated them to become more involved in sport.
Arts engagement had increased with more than half of all respondents having visited a museum or gallery in 2012 - the first time since the survey launched in 2005.
The survey has run since 2005 and involves face-to-face interviews and involved a sample size of 9,427 for the latest period.
