The bar chart we see on this picture was designed by UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport to find a ratio (соотношение) of women to men in different kinds of sport activities.
Overall, it can be clearly seen that competitive sport activities attract most males. Women prefer so called "mind&body" activities like yoga which targeted traditionally at women. But the participation of health and fitness looks nearly the same.
A vast majority of males involved in football and golf (presented respectively for 90, 8% and 86%). At the same time only a tiny percentage of female respondents (9, 2% for football and 14% for golf respectively) expressed the interest in these competitive sport participation. I suppose the reason is the difference between our nature.
The middle band of this bar chart included individual fitness: cycling (place to place and for recreation), hiking and running. We see that in cycling place to place and for recreation the figure (показатель) in males' participation is almost the same: 68, 9% of males in cycling place to place and 68, 3% in recreation.
The decreasing a bit compared to the previous rate: more than half percentage of males (almost 70%) takes part in these kinds of sport and for recreation. What about women's interest in cycling the bar chart demonstrates that only one third of women are involved in it. Almost the same situation is with hiking and running: a vast majority of hikers and runners are men (two-thirds of men against one-third of women).
But if we look at the two last rates "Aerobics\dance" and "Yoga" we will notice that the proportion of female members increased significantly: roughly a three quarters of aerobic and dance classes participants are women. Yoga attracts any more girls - just under 90%.
I’d like to conclude by saying that, first, both genders are involved in sport activities; second, attracting in a particular sport depends on its kind: it’s competitive or not or it’s more about health and mind or how much your effort it needs (I mean, running, for example, takes much more pains than yoga and, I suppose, most women will prefer doing yoga in the morning).
