The bar chart illustrates the ratio of New Zealand men and women who do exercise in 2008 across various age groups.
Overall, in women, the most regular physical activity is in the 44- to 53-year-old age group. Additionally, according to the data, men most frequently exercise at ages 14 to 23.
Initially, men often do physical activity when they are 14 to 23; nevertheless, women commonly exercise almost every time from 24 to 64 and over. Notably, the largest ratio of those who exercise between men and women was documented in the 34- to 43-year-old age group, where it was approximately 14% or two-thirds of a percent. Nonetheless, the 64-and-over age group shows the most balanced ratio, with 47.2% and 48.1% for men and women respectively, with women being slightly higher.
Last but not least, men commonly play sports or do physical activities from ages 14 to 23; after that, men decrease their time spent doing so. Starting from age 34 and over time, men spend more time exercising frequently until old age, at which point men approximately exercise as much as women.
