HEALTH FITNESS AND NUTRITION
Facts:
A sedentary lifestyle is one of the biggest causes of developing a chronic health condition, but roughly 3 in 4 adults and more than 80% of adolescents do not meet recommended physical activity guidelines. Regardless of whether someone has a chronic disease, getting active can go a long way toward improving health and quality of life (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2018). The Healthy People 2020 initiative from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2014) and similar programs around the globe have been diligently working to change that statistic by partnering with legislators and government institutions to provide the public with more access to activity-friendly environments, such as parks, bike lanes, and walking trails so people can get more active.
