TOKYO - Japanese women in their 30s and 40s have shown a declining trend in physical fitness over the roughly 25 years through fiscal 2025, a government survey showed Sunday.

The survey conducted by the Japan Sports Agency also showed that women in those age groups were less likely to belong to sports clubs or similar facilities, while the number of those exercising at least once a week was also on a downward trend.
