W: Simon, could you review the results of the survey on people’s sporting activities?

M: Sure. The survey was conducted on 150 men and women between the ages of 18 and 55 years old. According to the result, the most active group involved in sporting activities are those between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those 36 to 45 years old.

W: Okay.

M: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups chose jogging as their favorite sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.

W: Hmm. Based on what you’ve said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 to 26-year-old age group more in the future. I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athletic shoes. Maybe we can come up with a more appealing design aimed at this age group.

M: I see what you mean. However, when these results are compared with the survey carried out three years ago, we can see a growing trend among older consumers—I mean 46 to 55—who are becoming more conscious and concerned about staying fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should focus on this group instead.

W: I see your point. Well, let’s meet again on Wednesday to discuss the details.
