There is a significant difference between the percentage of men and women doing regular physical activity in 2010, which fluctuates relevantly depending on the age group.
On one hand, males aged from 15 to 24 years old depict a great proportion (52.8%), which then sharply decreases twice, from 25 to 34 (42.2%) and from 35 to 44 (39.5%). Nextly, there is a steady growth in the next 3 classifications (45 to 54, 55 to 64 and 65 and over). At first, the percentage ascends to 43.1%, resulting in a slight improvement from the previous one. Secondly, it rises again, evolving to 45.1%, again experiencing a similar increase. Finally, it reaches its final state by climbing to 46.7%.
On the other hand, young women appear to show a smaller interest in doing regular sport, reflecting a minor proportion than men (47% against 52.8%). Nevertheless, this percentage evolves regularly from the 25-to-34 class to the 55-to-64 class, maintaining a great advantage in comparison with males, which is very noticeable in the 35-to-44 group, where there is a difference of approximately 13% (39.5% against 52.5%). Finally, there is a little decrease in the elderly, falling to 47.1%.
In 2010, there was a significant gender gap in regular physical activity, varying by age. Men started with higher participation but saw declines before rising again in later years. Women, despite lower initial rates, showed a steadier increase, surpassing men in several age groups before slightly dropping in old age.
