How this exercising estimate works
Σ (region population × participation × local-hour probability)
Participation and activity duration are distributed around typical local morning and evening exercise peaks.
What the number means
Running, gym sessions, sports and other intentional exercise. Health, age, access and reporting differences make the real total uncertain. The number is a broad modelled estimate, not direct tracking of individuals.
This estimate is for curiosity and perspective. Activities can overlap, and the totals should not be added together as if every category were exclusive.
Baseline sources
These sources anchor the normal model. Activity-specific participation and duration remain clearly labelled modelling assumptions.
