Sumario:What is already known about this topic? The monitoring report on nutrition and health status of Chinese residents from 2010 to 2013 reported that the participation rate of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) was 13.8% among those 6 years and older. What is added by this report? Among 18 years old and older, the age-standardized LTPA prevalence increased from 7.13% in 2000 to 11.79% in 2011 before dropping to 7.33% in 2015. What are the implications for public health practice? As levels of LTPA participation are low, further research is necessary to develop and test valid interventions to encourage people to take part in more LTPA especially for residents in rural areas and with low-income.
