The percentages of men and women partaking in regular physical activities in various age categories are presented in the chart.
The data reveals that the participation rate in physical activities was higher among women than men on average. Notably, the group of males aged 35 to 44 exhibited the least involvement whereas the youngest age group, 15 to 24, portrayed higher activity levels. Furthermore, a surge in physical activity rates was noted among males aged 45 to 54 and those aged 65 and above.
Conversely, the analysis indicates that females in the 45 to 54 age bracket displayed the highest engagement, almost reaching 54%.
