The line graph illustrates how the percentages of Europeans who visited to a gym varied across different age groups over a period of 20 years starting from 1990.
Overall, all four age groups demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory in gym attendence. Additionally, the 18-24 age group recorded the highest figures for the majority of the period, while their 45 and over counterparts remained the least figure over the two-decade period.
Looking at the two younger age groups, at the beginning of the period, both the proportions of 18-24 and 25-34 groups stood at roughly 7% and 8%, respectively. The 25-34 group witnessed a steady and uninterrupted growth over the period, reaching around 51% in 2010. In contrast, the 18-24 group rose steadily to approximately 26% in 1998, it then surpassed the 25-34 group around 2002 at 46%, before peaking at about 58% in 2006 and remained that level through to the end of the period.
Moving on the two older age cohorts, the figures for those aged 35-44 and 45 and over accounted for just 5% and 3% respectively in 1990. The 35-44 cohort climbed gradually to 22% in 2006, before experiencing a surge to 40% in 2010. Similarly, the 45 and over group saw a consistent upward trajectory, despite at considerably lower rates, ultimately reaching a peak of 22% in the final year.
