- Globally, 81% of adolescents do not meet recommended physical activity levels.
Global Trend in Physical Inactivity (2001-2016)
- Percentage of people not meeting global physical activity recommendations has remained relatively stable, hovering around 30% for adults and adolescents.
- Data shows a low but negligible trend of decreasing physical inactivity for men and women since 2001.
Global Levels of Physical Inactivity in Adults (2016)
- Data shows varying physical inactivity rates across different regions (Latin America and the Caribbean, South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa), with disparities between females and males within these regions.
- Global average physical inactivity rates in adults show an overall disparity across the different regions across the world, despite some regions having slightly lower rates than others.
Global Trend in Physical Inactivity by Income
