The line graphs given illustrate the monthly expenditure in pounds by parents from Britain for their children's sportings from 2008 to 2014, and the children's number in millions who took part in football, athletics and swimming over the same period.
Overall, it is clear that the average monthly outlays had grown consistently. Football was the most popular game during that time period.
In the terms of participation, although more than 7. 5 million children played football in 2008, at the end of the period slightly more, with 7. 7 million, participated in the same event. Moreover, this number was far greater than the other two sporting events. Athletics was the least populous game in 2008, with less than one million participants, while swimming was the second popular game in the beginning, with near 2. 2 million participants, but remained at the last position by 2014 (3. 5 million).
On the other hand, average monthly spending was 20 pounds in 2008, ended up with more than 32 pounds in the year 2014.
