Most Germans dedicate their Sundays to leisure activity because a majority of shops and restaurants are closed on Sundays. Sports clubs are a large part of Germans' leisure time. Currently, around 26 million people in Germany make up the membership to the over 91,000 sports clubs in Germany. Sports clubs can aid children and adults in getting to know people in their community through a shared passion for sports. Another leisure activity that Germans like to partake in is exercise. Studies show that most Germans work out at least once a week in their free time.
