The depicted bar chart illustrates the proportion of men and women who were engaged in exercise by different ages groups in Australia in 2010.
Overall, females did more physical activity compared to men in all age groups, except the 15 to 24 age group, where the percentage of men outnumbered that of women. It is interesting to note that in the oldest age group, the gap between females and males was the least among other age groups.
Turning to the details, we can see that in the age group ranged from 15 to 24, males accounted for 52.8%, which was slightly higher than that of women (47.7%). The figure for females in the 25 to 34 age group outnumbered their counterparts (42.2%) at 48.9%. Meanwhile, the rate of women has increased to 52.5% in next age interval and remained almost the same by averaging at 53% before dropping to 47.1% in the 65 and above age group. On the other hand, in the subsequent age group(35 to 44), the percentage of men drooped to 39.5, though it kept rising in next age groups, and finished at 46.7% in the last age group.
