Overall, we can see the difference between figures of girls and boys in three categories, which are called at least one day, three days and six days. The figures also show how many young people spent at least 30 minutes and at least 60 minutes on sports
Turning to the details, mainly boys and girls spent no more than 1 day per week for sporting activities. 97 percent of boys and 93 percent of girls spent at least 30 minutes on sports, while 85 percent of boys and 74 percent of girls doing exercises at least 60 minutes.
Regarding young people who doing sports at least three days, the figures are much lower than in the previous category. The proportion of boys who take part in sports at least 30 minutes reached 83 percent, and 53 percent of them spent more than 60 minutes. Girls who take part in sports at least three days and at least 30 minutes peaked at 73 percent, and who spent at least 60 minutes reached a percent of 35.
The category with the lowest data is “at least six days”. 29 percent of boys spent at least 30 minutes on sports, while girls data was just 21 percent. Only 9 percent of boys and 4 percent of girls spent more than 60 minutes doing exercises
