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 below depicts the proportion of Australian citizens actively joining physical activities for both genders in different

age

groups

in 2010. As can be seen from the graph, there were six

age

groups

varied from 15 to over 65 and it is obvious that the percentage of

women

from 25 to 64 doing exercises was higher than

men

at the same

age

while

it was

men

in their twenties that were more active in doing sports than

women

. For the

age

of 15 to 24, we can see that there were more than 5% of

men

joining physical activities compared with

women

.

However

, for the other four

age

groups

from 25 to 64, the proportion of female athletes remained at a higher rate than males.

In addition

, in terms of the 35-44 and 45-54

age

groups

, there were approximately 10% to 13% of females doing exercises higher than males

whereas

there was only just over 7% difference between

men

and

women

at the

age

of 25 and 55.

On the other hand

, Australian elder male and female citizens saw the same rate of just 46,7% for the former and 47,1% for the latter at the

age

of 65 to over.
