The bar chart compares two different age groups in the United States demonstrating their average daily hours allocated to 6 leisure and sports activities in 2015.

Overall, both the young and elderly people spent comparatively more hours watching TV per day compared to the other free-time activities, with the latter showing larger numbers in that year. Additionally, relaxing, thinking, and reading were favoured activities among the adults, while computer games and physical exercises, including sport and recreation were quite popular among teenagers. Notably, both groups spent almost an equal amount of time communicating on a daily basis with slight superiority of the youngsters.

In 2015, people under 19 in the US dedicated nearly 2.5 hours to watching TV, while the adults recorded the highest figure in this chart, watching TV for approximately 4.5 hours daily. However, those teenagers engaged more in sports and using computers for leisure as opposed to adults, spending over an hour and 30 minutes, respectively. As expected, older adults spent significantly less time on these activities: about 0.5 hours on computer use for leisure and less than 15 minutes on sports and recreation.

Adults, by contrast, showed a greater preference for thinking, relaxing, and reading than teenagers in that year. In more detail, the latter devoted slightly over 5 minutes to relaxation and 10-11 minutes to reading, whereas the figures for the former were approximately 35 minutes and 60 minutes, correspondingly. Socializing, nevertheless, was the only activity, nearly bringing these two groups in line with each other with those over 15 spending slightly more time at around 48 minutes per day on this activity.
