In 2024, it was found that 23.6 percent of men in the United States participated in sports, exercise, and recreational activities daily, compared to only 19.4 percent of women. These statistics highlight a notable difference in the daily engagement of different genders in sporting activities. Other factors influencing this participation include socioeconomic status, age, disability, ethnicity, geography, personal interests, and societal expectations. These barriers can prevent individuals from having equal access to, and opportunities for, sport participation. What role does gender play in sports participation? Historically, many sports have been segregated by gender, with men and women participating in separate leagues and competitions. This segregation has led to a lack of opportunities for women and girls to participate in sports at the same level as men and boys. Additionally, societal attitudes and stereotypes about gender can discourage women and girls from participating in sports or limit their access to resources and support for their athletic pursuits. This often results in fewer women and girls participating in sports and a lack of representation of women and girls in leadership roles within the sports industry. However, in recent years, there has been an increased focus on promoting gender equality in sports and providing equal opportunities for men and women to participate in sports. This includes initiatives to increase funding and support for women's sports, as well as efforts to challenge gender stereotypes and discrimination in the athletic world.

Dataset Overview:

This dataset contains simulated (hypothetical) but almost realistic (based on AI) data related to sleep, heart rate, and exercise habits of 500 individuals. It includes both pre-exercise and post-exercise resting heart rates, allowing for analyses such as a dependent t-test (Paired Sample t-test) to observe changes in heart rate after an exercise program. The dataset also includes additional health-related variables, such as age, hours of sleep per night, and exercise frequency.

The data is designed for tasks involving hypothesis testing, health analytics, or even machine learning applications that predict changes in heart rate based on personal attributes and exercise behavior. It can be used to understand the relationships between exercise frequency, sleep, and changes in heart rate.

Physical fitness is a key element of a healthy life, and being overweight or lacking physical exercise will lead to health problems. Therefore, assessing an individual’s physical health status from a non-medical, cost-effective perspective is essential. This paper aimed to evaluate the national physical health status through national physical examination data, selecting 12 indicators to divide the physical health status into four levels: excellent, good, pass, and fail. The existing challenge lies in the fact that most literature on physical fitness assessment mainly focuses on the two major groups of sports athletes and school students. Unfortunately, there is no reasonable index system has been constructed. The evaluation method has limitations and cannot be applied to other groups. This paper builds a reasonable health indicator system based on national physical examination data, breaks group restrictions, studies national groups, and hopes to use machine learning models to provide helpful health suggestions for citizens to measure their physical status. We analyzed the significance of the selected indicators through nonparametric tests and exploratory statistical analysis. We used seven machine learning models to obtain the best multi-classification model for the physical fitness test level. Comprehensive research showed that MLP has the best classification effect, with macro-precision reaching 74.4% and micro-precision reaching 72.8%. Furthermore, the recall rates are also above 70%, and the Hamming loss is the smallest, i.e., 0.272. The practical implications of these findings are significant. Individuals can use the classification model to understand their physical fitness level and status, exercise appropriately according to the measurement indicators, and adjust their lifestyle, which is an important aspect of health management.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the leisure physical activity of people with and without chronic non-communicable diseases by the single health system of the city of Ribeirão Preto – São Paulo. Methods: observational cross-sectional study, data were collected by means of interviews in a sample for convenience and random of adults. Results: there were 719 people, where 70.1% had chronic non-communicable diseases, being 68.1% inactive. Physical inactivity presents a similar distribution between the groups with and without disease and a national average in leisure physical activity. Conclusions: these data are aimed at health services that do not encourage physical and auditory leisure activities, such as multiprofessional activities in the health area.

Data for cities, communities, and City of Los Angeles Council Districts were generated using a small area estimation method which combined the survey data with population benchmark data (2022 population estimates for Los Angeles County) and neighborhood characteristics data (e.g., U.S. Census Bureau, 2017-2021 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates). The current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans is issued by the US Department of Health and Human Services. To meet physical activity guidelines, adults must meet aerobic physical activity guidelines (vigorous activity for at least 75 minutes a week, or moderate activity for at least 150 minutes a week, or a combination of vigorous and moderate activity for at least 150 minutes a week) and muscle-strengthening physical activity guidelines (exercise all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week).Physical inactivity contributes to our current obesity epidemic and is a major risk factor for heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and many other chronic health conditions. It can be difficult for people to be physically active if their communities do not have available and safe places for recreation.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.
