The statistic depicts the share of participants in physical activity in the United States in 2018, by age group. During the survey, 42 percent of Millennial respondents in 2018 stated that they actively engaged in physical activities.

In 2023, it was found that 22.4 percent of men in the United States participated in sports, exercise, and recreational activities daily, compared to only 19.9 percent of women. These statistics highlight a notable difference in the daily engagement of different genders in sporting activities. Other factors influencing this participation include socioeconomic status, age, disability, ethnicity, geography, personal interests, and societal expectations. These barriers can prevent individuals from having equal access to, and opportunities for, sport participation. What role does gender play in sports participation? Historically, many sports have been segregated by gender, with men and women participating in separate leagues and competitions. This segregation has led to a lack of opportunities for women and girls to participate in sports at the same level as men and boys. Additionally, societal attitudes and stereotypes about gender can discourage women and girls from participating in sports or limit their access to resources and support for their athletic pursuits. This often results in fewer women and girls participating in sports and a lack of representation of women and girls in leadership roles within the sports industry. However, in recent years, there has been an increased focus on promoting gender equality in sports and providing equal opportunities for men and women to participate in sports. This includes initiatives to increase funding and support for women's sports, as well as efforts to challenge gender stereotypes and discrimination in the athletic world. Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sports participation The COVID-19 pandemic led to many people spending more time at home due to lockdowns, remote work, and school closures. This resulted in many people having more time to engage in sports and other physical activities, as seen in the share of the U.S. population engaged in sports and exercise peaking in 2020. With gyms and sports facilities closed or with limited access, many people turned to home-based workouts and other activities. This included activities such as running, cycling, and strength training that could all be done at home with minimal equipment. Online classes and streaming services also saw an increase in usage during the pandemic, providing people with access to a wide range of workout options and fitness programs.

Number and percentage of adults being moderately active or active during leisure time, by age group and sex.

A September 2023 survey on exercise habits in the United States revealed that around 65 percent of male respondents took part in strength training. Meanwhile, just under one quarter of female respondents participated in yoga.

A meticulously compiled dataset providing deep insights into the global fitness industry in 2025. This dataset covers high-demand topics such as the exponential growth of fitness clubs, emerging trends in boutique fitness studios, skyrocketing online fitness training statistics, the flourishing fitness equipment market, and changing consumer behavior and expenditure patterns in the fitness sector.

Context

A team's mean seasons statistics can be used as predictors for their performance in future games. However, these statistics gain additional meaning when placed in the context of their opponents' (and opponents' opponents') performance. This dataset provides this context for each team. Furthermore, predicting games based on post-season stats causes data leakage, which from experience can be significant in this context (15-20% loss in accuracy). Thus, this dataset provides each of these statistics prior to each game of the regular season, preventing any source of data leakage.

Content

All data is derived from the March Madness competition data. Each original column was renamed to "A" and "B" instead of "W" and "L," and the mirrored to represent both orderings of opponents. Each team's mean stats are computed (both their stats, and the mean "allowed" or "forced" statistics by their opponents). To compute the mean opponents' stats, we analyze the games played by each opponent (excluding games played against the team in question), and compute the mean statistics for those games. We then compute the mean of these mean statistics, weighted by the number of times the team in question played each opponent. The opponents' opponent's stats are computed as a weighted average of the opponents' average. This results in statistics similar to those used to compute strength of schedule or RPI, just that they go beyond win percentages (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rating_percentage_index)

The per game statistics are computed by pretending we don't have any of the data on or after the day in question.

Next Steps

Currently, the data isn't computed particularly efficiently. Computing the per game averages for every day of the season is necessary to compute fully accurate opponents' opponents' average, but takes about 90 minutes to obtain. It is probably possible to parallelize this, and the per-game averages involve a lot of repeated computation (basically computing the final averages over and over again for each day). Speeding this up will make it more convenient to make changes to the dataset.

I would like to transform these statistics to be per-possession, add shooting percentages, pace, and number of games played (to give an idea of the amount uncertainty that exists in the per-game averages). Some of these can be approximated with the given data (but the results won't be exact), while others will need to be computed from scratch.

According to a study conducted at the end of 2023, China reported the highest physical activity participation among 22 countries studied worldwide. At that time, nearly ***** out of ten Chinese respondents said that they engaged in at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise.

Scraped player stats per game from Understat from 2014/2015 to 2024/2025 (still in progress) seasons.

This contains more detailed information than the dataset from https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/codytipton/understat-data, which includes the individual player stats per game for the English Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, and the Russian Football Premier League. In particular, it contains each player's xG, xGBuildup, goals, and shots per game. Furthermore, it has the events for each shot in the events table, clubs and their stats per season in the clubs table, and each game with who lost, won, shots, possession, probabilities of who wins, ect..

Introduction

Google Fit Statistics: Google Fit, since its launch in 2014, formed the major platform of fitness and health for Google, enabling users to track several health metrics and pool data from several fitness apps and devices. In its continued evolution were added unique features like Heart Points, developed under the auspices of WHO and AHA, aimed at inducing physical activity.

Changes of much significance are due in 2024, marking a change in Google's very own approach to health data-keeping. In this article, we will enclose the Google Fit statistics.

This statistic presents the health benefits of regular physical activity in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2017. Regular physical exercise reduces an individual's risk of hip fractures by ** percent, followed by getting type 2 diabetes by ** percent.
