Physical
Inactivity Home Page

General's Report and is a major area of concern for Healthy
People 2010. Preliminary estimates (see "Contribution to overall

A CDC-funded project has identified specific
public health interventions that work to improve physical inactivity
(see "What can be done?" link on right).
