European Union: distribution of vigorous physical activity 2013-2017, by duration

This statistic displays the results of a survey on the distribution of the time usually spent by people who engage in vigorous physical activities in the European Union in 2013 and 2017. The survey was conducted via face-to-face interviews and gathered data from 12,842 respondents in December 2013 and 19,982 respondents in December 2017 across Europe, who all had been involved in vigorous physical activity during the prior week of questioning. In 2013, it was found that 37 percent of respondents stated that they usually spend 31 to 60 minutes doing vigorous physical activities such as lifting heavy things, digging, aerobics or fast cycling.
