Today, the British government published information about how active young people are today. This information was eagerly awaited and contained one or two surprises. Predictably, the most popular physical activity for men is an outdoor one: football, while for women it’s working out in a gym. The same activity for men is down in third place behind the second-placed snooker and pool. Surprisingly, snooker and pool is also among the top five activities for women but comes below swimming, which was the second most popular female activity, and aerobics, which came in third place. The last of the top five activities for women was running.
