It shows that more males than females like to watch and take part in sports, with younger women showing more interest compared to older women. While all men interviewed have played sports, most women have also participated. The figures indicate that almost all men and at least eight out of ten women have played sports in various settings, including gyms, homes, and parks. The percentage of women playing high school sports has significantly increased, and organized sports participation is higher among men than women across different age groups.
