The bar chart compares how many people from five age groups participated in an activity in 1990 and 2010.
Overall, the graph shows that participation went down for younger people but went up for older people over the twenty years. In 1990, the 36-50 age group was the most active, but in 2010, the 51-65 group had the highest percentage.
In 1990, the 36-50 group had the highest participation at about 42%. The groups for 51-65 and over 65 were lower, with percentages between 32% and 35%. The 26-35 group was at roughly 31%, while the youngest group (18-25) had the lowest participation at about 17%.
By 2010, there was a big shift in the trends. The 51-65 cohort increased to nearly 40%, and the over-65 group rose slightly to 35%. Conversely, the percentages for younger people all dropped. The 18-25 group fell to less than 10%, which was the biggest decrease. The 26-35 and 36-50 groups also fell to 24% and 35% respectively.
