The graph compares gym attendance among people from Europe from ages 18 and over 45 between 1990 and 2010.
Overall, as can be seen from the chart the number of European people who work out at gym rose gradually over this period. In 1990 gym was not much popular among people of all ages. Nevertheless, by the year 2010 young adults (18-24) went to gym the most, while at age 45 and older they were less likely to visit gym.
At the beginning, the percentage of young adults aged 18 to 24 who do sports at gym was relatively small, amounting to only 8%. Then, gym attendance among this age group plummeted, recahing its peak of 60% by 2006, before experiencing a small decline by 10% in two years and rising again to 60% in 2010.
In 1990 people in their mid twenties and early thirties visited gym the most, with the result of 9%. Until 1998 this age group worked out at gym more than other, marking 30% attendance. After, the growth slowed down. The number of visitors to gym aged from 24 to 35 then increased consistently until 2010, with the point of 50% in 2010.
By contrast, older people went to work out at gym less. Starting with 5% of gym visitors in their 34-44, this percentage showed a gradual rise, reaching 10% in 1998, then doubling in 2002, before rocketing to 40% in 2010. Only 4% of visitors were older than that in 1990. This percenatge then increased slightly to 10% in 2002 and by 2010 it doubled, reaching the figure just above 20%.
