Physical Activity Trends --- United States, 1990--1998

...The prevalence of those who engaged in recommended levels of 
activity increased slightly from 24.3% in 1990 to 25.4% in 1998, and 
the prevalence of those reporting insufficient activity increased 
from 45.0% in 1990 to 45.9% in 1998 (Figure 1 
<http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5009a3.htm#fig1>). Those 
reporting no physical activity decreased from 30.7% in 1990 to 28.7% 
in 1998. The components of recommended activity remained relatively 
stable (Figure 2 
<http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5009a3.htm#fig2>).
