Do all children have places to be active?
disparities in access to physical activity environments in racial and ethnic minority and lower-income communities
(2011). Do all children have places to be active?: disparities in access to physical activity environments in racial and ethnic minority and lower-income communities.
Neighborhoods and communities can support activity both physically, by having sidewalks, bicycle lanes and parks, and socially, by being safer, cleaner and having less traffic. This synthesis examines the growing body of evidence indicating that racial and ethnic minority, and lower-income, communities do not provide as many built and social environmental supports for physical activity. It also summarizes research on racial, ethnic and economic disparities in obesity and physical activity rates among children. Although this synthesis focuses on how the environment can support activity among children and adolescents, some evidence relating to adults is presented because many environmental factors that affect adults' physical activity have implications for children and youth as well.
