The percentage (%) of participants, (n^§ = 2188) reporting sport and exercise activities on a regular basis^‡, by gender.

<p>^§ Percentages reported are based on available n for each specific activity; ^‡‘report of weekly participation in ‘x’ activity of minimum duration, 30 minutes per episode’. ^*p<0.05; ^‡p<0.10: test of gender difference. <i>Note</i>: No difference by gender existed for exercises with weights and conditioning exercises either in the last year or report of regular participation; N's were not robust to examine football, horse-riding, cricket, ice-skating, martial arts, and netball by gender due to low number of participants reporting these activities. Activity order was determined by the most frequent activity in both genders combined. Top ten most frequently reported activities by gender (where ‘1’ indicates most frequently reported activity): <i>Men</i>: 1) walking for pleasure, 2) golfing, 3) floor exercises, 4) backpacking/hill-walking, 5) conditioning exercises, 6) cycling, 7) swimming, 8) exercises with weights, 9) fishing and 10) snooker. <i>Women</i>: 1) walking for pleasure, 2) floor exercises, 3) swimming, 4) conditioning exercises, 5) aerobics, 6) dancing, 7) backpacking/hill-walking, 8) exercises with weights, 9) golfing and 10) cycling.</p

The percentage (%) of men (n^§ = 1046) and women (n^§ = 1142) reporting sport and exercise activities on a regular basis^‡, by obesity status.
