17.8% of Madrid residents play paddle tennis and 17.5% play soccer. The data indicates a change with respect to the perspective offered by the Sports Habits Survey of Spaniards, published by the Ministry of Culture and Sports in 2022.
The rates of those who play sports skyrocket among the young population, between 18 and 29 years old, up to 80%, while in the segment of those over 75 years of age it drops to 16%. The age range also determines sports preferences. Soccer remains king for the former, followed by popular races, cycling and paddle tennis.
