The given bar chart compares the proportion of Australian males and females who engaged in regular sports activities based on their age in 2010.
Overall, it is clear that, in five out of six age groups, more women were interested in doing physical activity than men. In addition, around half men and women of various ages were generally active that year.
Looking at the information in more detail, we can see in the first age bracket that around 53% of men did regular physical movement, which is 5% higher than women, standing at 47.7%. However, for the next two age groups (25–34 and 35–44), the figures for males decreased gradually, reaching just under two-fifths, whereas women’s percentages saw a reversed trend, with an increase of 5%, reaching 52.5%.
Moving on to those aged between 45 and 54 and those between 55 and 64, it is noticeable that they had approximately the same percentages and patterns, with around 45% for men and 53% for their counterparts. In contrast, the last category of individuals, which involves those above 65, showed similar figures for both genders, accounting for roughly 40.7% each.
