I'm really asking to see numbers. I think sports are more prevalent than ever. Still more sit at desks for jobs vs working in the fields.

When I was a kid in the 60s few grandparents could do over 10 push-ups. Now - 10 push-ups is not really anything for some 60+ year old to do.

I think there are more athletically inclined, while others do nothing. Average? - I wanted to see numbers.
