ASTHMA PHYSICA CAL ACTIVITY/OBESITY POVERTY PUBLIC HEALTH
A 2013 NIH Report states: “Park use accounted for approximately 50% of the vigorous physical activity (VPA) time of those living within 0.5 miles of the park and 16% of those living within 1.0 miles of the park . Conclusion: Parks have significant roles in supporting vigorous physical activity of the local population. Because they are underutilized and vigor orous ous ac acti tivit ity is cr criti tical cal to ch o child ld develop elopment ment and adult physical fitness, efforts should be made to promote vigorous activity within local parks.” PUBLIC HEALTH
