Our Physical Activity Challenge: Improve Participation of Populations with Low Rates of Physical Activity Current Participation Patterns: Women are generally less active than men at all ages. African Americans and Hispanics are generally less active than whites. People with low incomes are typically not as active as those with high incomes. People with less education are generally not as active as those with higher levels of education. Adults in the Northeast and South tend to be less active than adults in the North Central and Western States People with disabilities are less physically active than people without disabilities. Participation in physical activity declines with age. By age 75, one in 3 men and one in two women engage in no physical activity. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
