Hours spend on activities by different age group in someland

the table shows (overview) the changing pattern of hours spent on activities by different age group from teenagers until 70's and above in year (control idea)

watching television and videos have drastically change in pattern (KF-1).The hours spent by teenagers are 1200 hours and falls to 500 hours spend by 40's due to busy with works (assumption).However the numbers rose to 110 hours spent by70's and above

the pattern of doing individual exersice is fluctuating by age group (KF-2)The number falls by 33% and then rose 100%.After that,the number decreases by 75% then increase yet again by 50% constantly

Likewise,doing group exersice and sport shows declining pattern(KF-3).The number of hours spent decreases from 450 to 50 hours by age 50's.At age 60's and above the number of hours spent is zero due to lack of energy (assumption)

In conclusion,people tend to reduce doing outdoor activities as their age is catching up.In solving this problem (prediction),the society must realize the important of outdoor activities such as walking.only then,the number of hours doing activities and sport will increase(proposal)
