Summary 

What is already known on this topic? 

Leisure-time  physical  activity  (LTPA)  such  as  sports,fitness,  and  recreation,  is  well  documented  to  prevent chronic  disease  and  improve  health.  The  age-adjusted prevalence  of  regular  LTPA  was  only  11.9% among Chinese adults in China in 2010. It has been reported that the age-adjusted LTPA prevalence increased from 7.13% in 2000 to 11.79% in 2011. 

What is added by this report? 

According  to  the  latest  available  data,  in  2015,  the prevalence of LTPA and regular LTPA was 19.7% and 12.5% in  adults  aged  18  years  old  and  above,respectively. Both LTPA and regular LTPA were lower in rural areas than in urban areas, higher in people with higher  socioeconomic  position,  and  varied  across provinces. 

What are the implications for public health practice? 

To  promote  more  people,  especially  those  with  lower socioeconomic  position  to  participate  in  LTPA,  great efforts  are  required  to  strengthen  national  and  local 

policy  initiatives,  financial  support,  sports  facility construction,  and  health  education,  especially  in  rural areas and in western China.
