Hi, welcome to the forum! I'm going to try my best to give you feedback on this writing. I hope it somehow helps your learning.

Firstly, I think that you overstretch your sentences. What this means is that you have a tendency to create almost seemingly run-on content because you are trying to put everything into one chunk. What I would suggest is opting for smaller and yet more concise patterns of writing. If we take a look at, for example, the second paragraph. You needed to deconstruct those details. Make it as comprehensible as possible for your readers.

Aside from this, the general flow of your content is quite well-done. I commend how the writing was eloquent and put-together. Just focus on downsizing complex writing patterns - and you're good to go!

1. The bar graph "depicts" the percentage of Australian men and women doing regular exercises in 2010. -->your first sentence has a weird use of "which"

2. Males who aged 15 ... 52.8% --> 52.8% of males between 15 to 24 workout.
--> the second paragraph has several grammatic issues( run-on)

Hope you can do well on IELTS!!!
