The given table illustrates the change in proportions of people taking part in seven different sports in a European country in a decade (from 1999 to 2009). Units are measured in percentages.
Overall, football claimed its first spot in the popularity ladder despite some decline over the period, while Tennis and golf experienced upward trajectories. The remaining sports (swimming, volleyball, basketball, and yoga) exhibited minimal changes.
Football was consistently the most dominant sport among others throughout the period. In 1999, 57% of people in that European country participated in football matches. 2004 saw a moderate decline in the football players to 52% before continually dropping to just 48% in the end of the period. Tennis and golf underwent a similar trend. Tennis initially had 25% of people as its participant in 1999. In the next 10 years, its figures increased dramatically for more than 8%. On the other hand, Golf doubled its proportion throughout the period from just 8% in 1999 to 17% in the next decade.
Turning to the remaining categories, the period witnessed some slight changes in the rates of swimming (from 32% to 34%) and yoga (from just 10% to 13% in 2009). However, basketball underwent a minimal fall from 26% at the start to 24% in the end. Finally, volleyball was the only sport to suffer from some fluctuations in that decade; in the first 5 years it rose by 3% to 20% before decreasing back to just 18% in the last 5 years
