Swimming, cycling and rowing clubs have all experienced increased interest due to Team GB securing medals, while less prominent sports - including archery - have also benefited from Olympic media coverage.

British Cycling President, Brian Cookson has predicted that Bradley Wiggins becoming the most decorated British Olympian of all time - as well as his historic Tour de France victory - will raise the profile of the sport throughout the UK - and result in more people taking up cycling.

Meanwhile, British Rowing experienced an enormous surge in traffic to its website with a tenfold increased in the regular number of unique visitors following Helen Glover and Heather Stanning's historic victory in the women's pair at Eton Dorney.

More than 5,500 people used the search facility on the website to find their nearest rowing club on the day of the Olympic win, far exceeding the highest figure recorded during the Beijing Games.

Across the UK rowing clubs were receiving applications for 'learn to row' courses within 10 minutes of the first gold medal being won.
