ABSTRACT
Physically active individuals have been documented as being at lower risk for deleterious medical conditions and having lower rates of chronic disease than those who are inactive (Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee, 2008). National surveys report a low prevalence of meeting physical activity guidelines in United States children and adolescents (~40%; Troiano et al., 2008). In addition, low income, minority populations in the U.S. are less physically active than their white counterparts (Flegal et al., 2010, Sallis et al., 2000). Thus, it is important to design innovative, effective interventions to increase physical activity (PA) in low income, minority populations.
