The State Indicator Report on Physical Activity 2010

The State Indicator Report on Physical Activity 2010 includes data about individual behaviors related to physical activity, as well as the presence or absence of physical features and policies that can make being physically active either easy or hard to do. The report looks at community access to parks or playgrounds, community centers, and sidewalks or walking paths in neighborhoods. The data shows substantial limits to the number of parks and other areas where physical activity would be convenient. The full report is available at http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/professionals/reports/index.html.

The South Carolina Action Guide summarizes physical activity levels among the nation and the state and also provides potential action items to support state-level policy and environmental changes to increase physical activity.
