A 2021 survey in Saudi Arabia revealed that the average gender quality index (GEI) amongst non-Saudi adults who engaged in physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day, was approximately 0.74, indicating much more favorable conditions for men. In recent years, however, there have been more and more opportunities opening up in the country for women, including an increase in women-only fitness centers. Overall, foreign citizen men were more physically active than non-Saudi women. The smallest disparity between physically active men and women were between the ages of 55 and 59 with about four percent more men active than women.
