In 2014, 53% of people between the ages of 12 and 80 in the Netherlands participate in some type of sport weekly. The percentage has been just above 50% for many years, announced Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and RIVM during the National Sport Week. Men (53.9%) play sports slightly more often than women (51.3%), with the percentages highest for teenagers (67.2%) and people in their twenties (65%). These data were obtained in the CBS health interview survey in the framework of the Lifestyle Monitor.
