The bar chart compares the percentages of Australian men and women, who did regular physical activity in 2010 across six age groups. Overall, it is evident that women aged 45-54 accounted for the highest proportion, whereas men aged 35-44 generated the lowest percentage of working hours per week. In addition, women outnumbered men substantially, with the exception of male aged 15-24.
One of the most prominent trends is that female aged 65 and over accounted for the lowest figure of women’s physical activity, at approximately 47,1%. By contrast, female aged 45-53 remained the highest score of working hours, accounting for about 53,3%. Likewise, women aged 15-24 and 55 to 64 had similar rates.
Turning to men, men aged 15-24 recorded the highest figures, declining from significantly 52,8% to 39,5%. Elderly men who were 65 and over ranked second at 47,1% which almost equals the percentage of old women activity that equals 46,7%.
