The graph shows the preferred leisure activities of Australian children aged 5-14. As might be expected, it is clear from the data that sedentary pursuits are far more popular nowadays than active ones.

Of the 10,000 children that were interviewed, all the boys and girls stated that they enjoyed watching TV or videos in their spare time. In addition, the second most popular activity, attracting 80% of boys and 60% of girls, was playing electronic or computer games. While girls rated activities such as art and craft highly just under 60% stated that they enjoyed these in their spare time only 35% of boys opted for creative pastimes. Bike riding, on the other hand, was almost as popular as electronic games among-est boys and, perhaps surprisingly, almost 60% of girls said that they enjoyed this too. Skateboarding was relatively less popular among-est both boys and girls, although it still attracted 35% of boys and 25% of girls.
