The concept of active living incorporates an ecological, population-based approach to physical activity by recognizing that individual behavior, social environments, physical environments, and policies all contribute to behavior change.

During the past four decades, rates have consistently increased, and today more than 33 of children and adolescents are overweight or obese in this country. Childhood obesity rates are highest among low-income populations and also among racial/ethnic minorities. Research has demonstrated that this trend also applies to rural youth, where the prevalence of obesity and overweight has been shown to be higher than state and national averages and also higher than rates among youth in urban areas.
