The bar graph below shows basic information about uses of leisure time among different age groups.
The bar graph illustrates the duration of time spent on three leisure activities—reading, using a computer, and sports and exercise—across different age groups: teenagers, young adults, adults up to 65 years old, and the elderly.
Overall, each age group demonstrates a preference for a dominant activity. Teenagers primarily use computers for leisure, while the elderly favor reading. For those in between, sports and exercise play a significant role, particularly among young adults.
In greater detail, reading becomes more popular with age. Teenagers average around 5 minutes of reading, whereas young adults invest six times that amount. Elderly individuals read for nearly an hour, double the time of young adults. Conversely, teenagers lead in computer use, but this trend decreases as age increases, with older adults dedicating less time.
Regarding sports and exercise, young adults engage the most, while teenagers participate half as much. Among the elderly, participation plummets to a mere 20 minutes per weekend day.
