In comparison, art activities were the least participated in, in which roughly 48% of those aged 12 to 16 years old engaged in this activity. Compared to the former, the older the children are, the percentages are lower in this category.

In contrast, those aged 12 to 16 riding a bike had the highest rate which accounted for a little over 80%, and this was around 10% higher than that of the 9 to 11 age group who did this activity too.
