exercised regularly in 2010.
Overall, it is clear that more women than men did regular physical activity in general,
particularly between the ages of 35 and 64. The 15-24 year-old group was the only one
in which men were more active than women while in the oldest age bracket, there was
little difference between the genders.

in which men were more active than women while in the oldest age bracket, there was
little difference between the genders.
Over half of the women aged between 35 and 64 did regular activity in the given year
compared to much lower figures among the men. Only 39.5% of men between 35 and 44
worked out regularly, the lowest figure on the chart. The most active group was women
aged 45 to 54 with 53.3% doing physical activity on a regular basis. There was also a
significant difference in the figures for men and women aged 25-34 though females still
outperformed their male counterparts.

Looking at the youngest group presented, the trend was markedly different with 52.8% of
men doing regular activity and only 47.7% of women. Meanwhile, this figure was almost the
same for women and men over 65 (47.1% and 46.7% respectively.)

a regular basis in Australia in 2010.
Overall, it is clear that the gender patterns for different age groups were quite varied, except
for the eldest demographic (65 and over), whose figure shows that nearly the same
proportions of men and women did exercise regularly. The data demonstrates that females
were generally more keen to engage in doing exercise than their male counterparts.

With regard to the numbers of men doing exercise, there was a remarkably higher proportion
in the 15-24 age bracket, at 52.8%. Compared to the above-mentioned group, men in other
age groups were less physically active.
in the 15-24 age bracket, at 52.8%. Compared to the above-mentioned group, men in other
age groups were less physically active.
As for the figures for women, there were always more women involving physical exercise,
excluding the youngest age group (15-24). It is also noticeable that in the 35-44 age group,
the gap between males and females participating in physical activities was up to 13%, while
for people aged 65 and over, the number of women exercising just outnumbered that of men
by 1%.
