Prevalence of meeting youth physical activity guidelines across income, sex, urbanicity, and sport participation: 2022–2023 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH)
Most American youth fail to meet guidelines, with lowest prevalences among female non-sport participants, regardless of SES and urbanicity status. Sports may be more important for PA among urban versus rural youth. The findings, which show a complex interplay between sociodemographic factors, PA, and sport, can be used to identify populations needing targeted PA promotion programs.
