Exercise has not yet become a lifestyle for the majority of the\nIndonesian population. Data from Susenas September 2025 shows that only\n37.27% of residents aged five years and above participate in physical\nactivity. This means that for every 100 Indonesians, only approximately\n37 people are active in exercising.<\/p>\n
Sports participation also shows a significant gap. Urban residents\nare more active in exercising compared to rural residents, with rates of\n42.36% and 29.65%, respectively. Furthermore, as household expenditure\nlevels increase, the likelihood of an individual exercising also grows,\nindicating that economic factors still influence access to and healthy\nlifestyles.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, 37.69% of the population exercises for educational\nreasons, primarily as part of school activities. Consequently, the\nschool-age group is the most active, with a participation rate reaching\n82.72%, followed by the children\u2019s group at 82.13%.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, the duration of exercise among the public remains\nrelatively low. Approximately 30.51% exercise for only 60-89 minutes per\nweek, while 26.20% exercise for 30-59 minutes per week. Only 14.36% of\nthe population meets the recommended minimum of 150 minutes of exercise\nper week.<\/p>\n
In terms of purpose, the majority of the population exercises to\nmaintain health and physical fitness (50.53%). Meanwhile, those who\nexercise for hobbies or recreation account for 8.02%, and only 0.83% use\nexercise as a means to achieve athletic excellence or as part of their\nprofession. This data indicates that the culture of sports in Indonesia\nstill faces significant challenges. Amidst increasing awareness of\nhealthy living, a large portion of the population has yet to make\nphysical activity a consistent routine.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/only-37-out-of-100-indonesians-exercise-regularly-most-are-sedentary-1780800186", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
