The bar charts illustrate the proportion of men and women of various age categories in Australia who participated in physical activity on a daily basis in the year 2010. In general, after mid-twenties, the percentage of male participants declined while the percentage of female participants increased moderately. For category 15 to 24, Men’s portion consists of about 53%, compared with approximately 48% for women. Among 25 to 34-year-olds, the female rate was around 49%, against 42% for men. The widest gap occurred in the 35 to 44 group: approximately 52% of women exercised regularly, whereas the male figure reached a low of about 39%. The female proportion then remained fairly stable, at roughly 53% in both the 45–54 and 55–64 age groups, before falling to around 47% among those aged 65 and over. By contrast, men's participation rose from about 43% in the 45–54 group to 45% in the 55–64 group and approximately 46% in the oldest group. Overall, women recorded higher participation rates than men in every group except the youngest, while rates for both sexes were closest among people aged 65 and over.
