Serge
Tomoko, I’ve summarized the results in the handout, broken down by consumer age groups and activities. The survey was taken by 550 men and women between the ages of 18 and 55, separated into the following age groups: 18 to 26, 27 to 35, 36 to 45, and 46 to 55. According to our latest results, the most active group is the 18 to 26, followed by the 36 to 45 group. As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cite jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling. Women appear to be more active than men in all four groups. We should consider targeting the women’s jogging and cycling footwear markets more heavily.
Tomoko
Well done, Serge.
