Can the London 2012 Olympics ‘inspire a generation’ to do more physical or sporting activities? An overview of systematic reviews

TL;DR: There is a paucity of evidence to support the notion that hosting an Olympic games leads to an increased participation in physical or sporting activities for host countries and the true success and legacy of the games should be evaluated by high-quality, evidence-based studies that are commissioned before, during and following the completion of the event.
