This report highlights how levels of physical activity differ by state. It also points out how states compare to each other in regards to environmental and policy strategies used to encourage physical activity.

Things like:

  • policy guidance on shared use agreements at the state level;
  • having access to parks, recreation centers, and sidewalks
  • living within 1/2 mile of a park;
  • increasing time spent doing moderate-vigorous physical activity;
  • requiring recess; and
  • getting kids to walk and bike to school

are all recommended as ways to increase levels of physical activity.
