Suminski, Richard R.; Petosa, Rick; Utter, Alan C.; Zhang, James J.
Journal of American College Health, v51 n2 p75-80 Sep 2002
Compared physical activity patterns among Asian, African, white, and Hispanic, American college students. Self-report data indicated that nearly half of the sample did not engage in vigorous physical activity, and 16.7 percent were inactive. Weight-training, youthful physical activity, and television viewing accounted for a significant portion of the variance in physical activity levels. Females, especially minorities, were especially physically inactive. (SM)
