The line graph illustrates how people in a given region participated in four sports- basketball, tennis, badminton and rugby- across three decades, 1985 to 2005. The blue line represents participation in basketball, and the orange one represents tennis. The grey and yellow lines are used to show representation in badminton and rugby respectively.
Overall, the number of people taking up tennis as a sport increased dramatically in the given years, while there was a drastic fall in pursuing rugby as a sport during the same time period. However, badminton and rugby maintained a stable trend.
In 1985, rugby was the most popular sport with nearly 250 people playing the game. Tennis came in a close second with a little under 150 people pursuing it. Over the course of the depicted thirty years, interest in playing tennis steadily increased, overtaking rugby as the most popular sport in 1995. Indeed, this year also served as a major infliction point for the latter as there was a dramatic decline in participation after.
