Abstract
Promoting individuals' participation in physical activity (PA) holds significant significance in the field of public health due to the demonstrated preventative impact on diverse metabolic disorders, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. There is a lack of research on how race and ethnicity affect people's propensity to exercise and how to best encourage them to get moving. However, the research that is currently available suggests that a sizeable percentage of African American (AA) Youths do not achieve the levels of PA that are suggested. The primary objective of this study is to give a preliminary examination of the demographic features and health disparities that are experienced by AA adolescents. Additionally, it aims to explore the various factors influencing their engagement in PA and propose viable interventions to address these issues.
