Nearly three quarters of male students and half of female students used full
fat milk.  Females were nearly twice as likely to use low fat or skimmed milk
in comparison to males.  Males drank more milk than females in all years,
and consumption declined over the three years for both genders.  About
half of the male students and a quarter of the female students consumed a
pint or more of milk per day.  Overall, just over 6% of students reported
that they did not drink milk at all.
4.6 EXERCISE HABITS
Almost 70% of students described themselves as fairly to very physically
active.  Male students were more physically active than females (Figure 7).
Over half of the students participated in at least 20 minutes of moderate
exercise 3 or more times a week, which was a more common practice
among females than males (Table 11). One in four students engaged in
strenuous exercise 3 or more times a week, with twice at many males to
females. Regular strenuous exercise was more prevalent among first and
second year students than among third year students.  Thirteen per cent of
students took no regular exercise.

Half of all the students participated in sport, with twice as many males
participating as females, 71% to 36%.  The highest sport participation rates
were among first year (72%) and second year (74%) male students. Among
females, first year students had the highest numbers (42%) engaged in sport
participation.  Of those who participated in sport, half did so at their
college or university.  Forty three percent of students attended a gym or
leisure centre and of those, 60% indicated that it was at a college facility.
