The statistic depicts the share of participants in physical activity in the United States in 2018, by age group. During the survey, 42 percent of Millennial respondents in 2018 stated that they actively engaged in physical activities.

According to a study conducted at the end of 2023, China reported the highest physical activity participation among 22 countries studied worldwide. At that time, nearly eight out of ten Chinese respondents said that they engaged in at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise.

Increase the percentage of the population that have participated in any physical activity in the last 30 days from 71.7% in 2012 to 79.2% by 2017.

The global market size of the physical activity industry was forecast to grow at an annual rate of almost six percent in the coming years. The market was estimated at 1.06 trillion U.S. dollars in 2023 and was due to exceed 1.4 trillion U.S. dollars by 2028.

This is a source dataset for a Let's Get Healthy California indicator at https://letsgethealthy.ca.gov/. This table displays the percentage of adults meeting Aerobic Physical Activity guidelines in California. It contains data for California only. The data are from the California Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS). The California BRFSS is an annual cross-sectional health-related telephone survey that collects data about California residents regarding their health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and use of preventive services. The BRFSS is conducted by the Public Health Survey Research Program of California State University, Sacramento under contract from CDPH. The column percentages are weighted to the 2010 California Department of Finance (DOF) population statistics. Population estimates were obtained from the CA DOF for age, race/ethnicity, and sex. Values may therefore differ from what has been published in the national BRFSS data tables by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or other federal agencies.

This dataset includes data on policy and environmental supports for physical activity, diet, and breastfeeding. This data is used for DNPAO's Data, Trends, and Maps database, which provides national and state specific data on obesity, nutrition, physical activity, and breastfeeding.

During a survey in the United States in 2024, almost half of respondents stated that their favorite physical activity was excerising outdoors. In comparison, seven percent of respondents said that playing golf was their favorite way of staying fit.

This dataset is from the 2013 California Dietary Practices Survey of Adults. This survey has been discontinued. Adults were asked a series of eight questions about their physical activity practices in the last month. These questions were borrowed from the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System. Data displayed in this table represent California adults who met the aerobic recommendation for physical activity, as defined by the 2008 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and Objectives 2.1 and 2.2 of Healthy People 2020. The California Dietary Practices Surveys (CDPS) (now discontinued) was the most extensive dietary and physical activity assessment of adults 18 years and older in the state of California. CDPS was designed in 1989 and was administered biennially in odd years up through 2013. The CDPS was designed to monitor dietary trends, especially fruit and vegetable consumption, among California adults for evaluating their progress toward meeting the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Healthy People 2020 Objectives. For the data in this table, adults were asked a series of eight questions about their physical activity practices in the last month. Questions included: 1) During the past month, other than your regular job, did you participate in any physical activities or exercise such as running, calisthenics, golf, gardening or walking for exercise? 2) What type of physical activity or exercise did you spend the most time doing during the past month? 3) How many times per week or per month did you take part n this activity during the past month? 4) And when you took part in this activity, for how many minutes or hours did you usually keep at it? 5) During the past month, how many times per week or per month did you do physical activities or exercises to strengthen your muscles? Questions 2, 3, and 4 were repeated to collect a second activity. Data were collected using a list of participating CalFresh households and random digit dial, approximately 1,400-1,500 adults (ages 18 and over) were interviewed via phone survey between the months of June and October. Demographic data included gender, age, ethnicity, education level, income, physical activity level, overweight status, and food stamp eligibility status. Data were oversampled for low-income adults to provide greater sensitivity for analyzing trends among our target population.

This dataset includes select data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) on the percent of adults who bike or walk to work.

Abstract

Using the same study population from the 2005 SAGE Pilot, this 2010 sub-study on physical activity (measured using accelerometer and self-reported using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire(GPAQ)) was conducted in a sample of 200: 72 men and 128 women between the ages of 49 and 90 years in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.

Respondents wore ActiGraph (Pensacola, FL) GT3X accelerometers at the hip (~1 cm toward the midline from the iliac crest) for seven consecutive days, with the accelerometer set to record data for all three axes at 60 second epochs. Anthropometric dimensions (weight, height, body mass index]) were obtained following standard practices.

The SAGE PA VALIDATION sub-study used a short survey questionnaire derived from the larger SAGE survey instrument and covered a range of topics, including economic well-being and work history, health state and functioning, preventive health behaviours, social cohesion, and time-use. The interview process also included a timed 4-meter walk and grip strength.
