<strong>Exercise</strong> Opportunities In Local Communities<br />
VI. <strong>Exercise</strong> Opportunities In Local Communities<br />
Perceived Number <strong>of</strong> Community <strong>Exercise</strong> Programs/Services<br />
Available<br />
Generally speaking, Americans <strong>50</strong>-<strong>79</strong> feel there are a number <strong>of</strong><br />
community-based exercise programs <strong>and</strong> services for people their age. In<br />
fact, two in three (67%) say there are at least some programs, with the<br />
plurality (37%) saying there are many such programs available.<br />
• This finding is observed across gender <strong>and</strong> age ranges.<br />
• Persons living in the Western U.S. are particularly likely to make this<br />
claim (72%).<br />
It should be noted however, that a reasonably large number (28%) say<br />
there are “not many” (18%) or even “no” (10%) such exercise<br />
programs/services available in their community.<br />
• This is particularly true in the South (35%).<br />
