Cardinal, Bradley J.; Spaziani, Marc D.

American Journal of Health Promotion, v17 n3 p197-201 Jan-Feb 2003

Investigated how compliant physical activity facilities in western Oregon were with regard to the Americans with Disabilities Act's mandate regarding accessibility of public facilities for all people. Data from direct observations and physical measurements at 50 physical activity facilities indicated that no facility was 100-percent compliant. The facilities showed greater rates of compliance in 6 of the 10 structural domains evaluated. (SM)
