The chart compares the Australian males' and females' physical

activity

according to

six

age

categories in the year 2010.

women

's percentages showed fluctuations during the ages.

's physical

activity

declined significantly at the

age

men

's exercise ( reduced by about 7%).

On the other hand

, the percentage of Australian

women

activity

increased at the

age

of 44, almost did not differ until the

age

of 64 and

then

activity

women

aged between 45 to 54, which is the highest, accounted for 53.3% and the lowest, which was contributed to
