The line chart illustrates data about Europeans from different age groups who visited gyms at least once a month over a 20-year period from 1990 to 2010.
Overall, a significant upward trend is evident. Notably, the majority of gym-goers were between the ages of 18 and 34. Additionally, the percentage of older gym visitors increased considerably in the latter half of the period.
Looking at the details, in 1990, only 10 percent of individuals aged 18 to 34 attended gyms, and within the first decade, this number grew by 30 percent. After a slight dip in 2008, the proportion of gym visitors aged 18 to 24 peaked at 60 percent in 2010. Meanwhile, the percentage of those aged 24 to 35 experienced a gradual increase, finishing at 50 percent, which is just 10 percent lower than that of their younger counterparts.
In examining the number of older residents who visited gyms in the first half of the period, there was a slight increase from 0 to 10 percent. However, the figures for both the 34 to 45 and 45+ age groups gradually rose, peaking at 40 percent and 20 percent, respectively, in 2010.
