Active People, Healthy NationSM highlighted school and youth strategies (eg, sports and physical education [PE]) to increase physical activity. Sex, grade, and race/ethnicity disparities exist. This study examines sex-specific trends and differences by grade and race/ethnicity for the prevalence of 5 youth physical activity behaviors from 2009 to 2019.

Methods

The national Youth Risk Behavior Survey assesses adolescents (grades 9-12) meeting the aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and both guidelines (2011-2019) and sports participation and daily PE (2009-2019). Sex-stratified logistic regression assessed trends and 2009 or 2011-2019 differences by grade
