The bar chart below shows the percentage of Australian men and women in different age groups who did regular physical activity in 2010.

The bar chart displays some data about the physical activities of different

age

groups in a country in 2010. Generally speaking, almost half of the people in all

age

brackets in Australia, were physically active.

In addition

, the highest

proportion

of participants belonged to middle-aged women, whilst the least was for men between the ages of 35 to 44. Young males at the ages of 15 to 24 were more active rather than females, 52.8% and 47.7%

accordingly

.

Then

the percentage of men’s participation decreased dramatically to 39.5% among 35 to 44 years old people.

After

this

fall, the

proportion

of those males who exercised regularly rose steadily as their

age

went up and reached 46.7 per cent at the highest

age

group. With regard to women, only 47.7% of them were exercising

while

they were young.

Then

, the

proportion

of participants in regular exercise increased rapidly and peaked at 53.3% between the ages of 45 to 54. Despite all these fluctuations, the

proportion

of those who had routine exercise accounted for a nearly similar percentage in the highest

age

group.
