The given line graph illustrates the proportion of participation in three different activities in sports clubs in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1995 to 2015.
Overall, the ratio of gym activities witnessed an upward trend. Meanwhile, the percentage of swimming decreased dramatically during these periods. The figure for swimming activities only dropped year by year. Therefore, there are no signs of increase yet. Furthermore, team sports seemed to have a balanced tendency.
It is clear that the quota of team sports and gym activities grew gradually between 1995 and 2010. However, in the last five years, both of them dropped their fraction by approximately 2% and 8% in team sports and gym activities, respectively. At the end of 2015, while the ratio of gym activities climbed by about 20%, the percentage of team sports was indistinguishable compared to its starting point.
In contrast, the allocation of swimming recorded a significant fall. In 2000, its figure declined by about 8% – from 50% to 42%. Nevertheless, the years from 2000 to 2010 saw a remarkable plummet. In 2000, its allocation was about 42%, and at the end of 2010, its percentage dropped intensely to 15%. In the next five years, the proportion of swimming leveled off at its lowest point. Moreover, swimming had the largest division between 1995 and 2005 – nearly 35%.
