The bar chart compares the engagement of Australian school students (boys and girls) in four distinct sports activities in 2010.
Overall, it is clear that football and netball were popular among distinct genders. While football was mainly practiced by boys, girls were primarily involved in netball. However, basketball and swimming were common among pupils of both genders.
Turning to details, the number of boys taking part in football was significantly higher than that of girls. The number of boys was four times greater than the number of girls (20% as opposed to roughly 5%), making it the highest figure compared to other activities. A similar trend emerged in netball, with girls predominantly engaged in the sport. However, netball was the least common activity among boys, with only approximately 3% compared to the 17% of the total participation rate among girls
On the other hand, both boys and girls demonstrated a shared interest in swimming and basketball, with approximately 7% participating in basketball and 15% in swimming. However, a small percentage of students (roughly 5%) did not participate in any sports activities.
