The bar graph illustrates proportions of males and females participating in regular physical exercise in a European country in 2019, divided by age group.
Overall, it is clear that the people aged 45-54 accounted for the highest percentage of participation. Notably, the figures had a positive correlation with age ranges until that cohort after which the trend fully reversed towards a negative relation.
With regard to the categories with the highest and lowest percentage of physical exercise recorded, the former had a much more pronounced rank. That is, both genders aged 45-54 represented the highest percentages with 48% for males and 52% for females. In contrast, there were the two least physically active cohorts: those aged 16-24 and 75+. The youngest group reported 30% for males and 28% for females, while the oldest population bracket had 25% and 30% for men and women, respectively.
Turning to the remaining demographics, the younger two groups recorded slightly lower overall proportions compared to the older half. For instance, populations in the 25-34 age bracket accounted for 35% for males and just 3% lower for females. The 35-44-year-old group had slightly higher records, with 40% and 2% lower for males and females, respectively. In comparison, 55-64 age range reported 45% for men and 49% for women. The men aged 65-74 had figures 10% lower than their 55-64-year-old male counterparts, while this gap was 1% less for women.
