Physical activity has been shown to improve health outcomes, decrease risk of medical comorbidities, and improve longevity. Despite these known benefits, most individuals do not meet the recommended national exercise guidelines for physical activity. This paper identifies individual and community-level factors impacting engagement in physical activity, thus focusing on solutions to address common barriers to exercise and optimize diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives for physical activity. Afterward, several cases within one large academic institution and its affiliates illustrate recent endeavors to improve access to physical activity and highlight future opportunities for growth in all communities.
体育活动已被证明能改善健康状况、降低患合并症的风险并延长寿命。尽管有这些已知的益处,但大多数人并未达到国家推荐的体育活动指南标准。本文确定了影响参与体育活动的个人和社区层面的因素,从而专注于解决常见的运动障碍的解决方案,并优化体育活动的多样性、公平性和包容性举措。之后,一所大型学术机构及其附属机构中的几个案例说明了最近为改善体育活动机会所做的努力,并突出了所有社区未来的增长机会。
