The provided bar chart illustrates the proportion of

and females

age

brackets who exercise daily in 2010.

Overall

, what stands out from the chart is that in the

age

group

of 45 to 54 years old women did the highest participation,

while

men in their youngest

age

did the greatest amount of physical work.

Moreover

, in all the

age

brackets women participated higher than men except in the 15 to 24 years old

group

. Looking at the graph, it can be clearly seen that in the 15 to 24

age

the participation of women was 47.7% ,

although

it rose moderately to 53.3% in the

age

group

of 45 to 54;

however

, it declined over the passing

age

to 47.1% in the 65 and above

age

group

.

In contrast

, regarding

males

, the percentage of

males

in the youngest

age

group

was higher than any other

age

bracket, at 52.8%.

Furthermore

, it was the only

group

in which there were higher

males

than females doing exercise daily,

whereas

the Men participation rate fell to its lowest among 35 to 44 years old, at 39.5%, before rising gradually to 46.7% in the 65 and over

age

bracket.

This

rate was very close to the figure for females in the same

group

.
