Most youth participate in some form of physical activity every week.
Participation in daily exercise increased among BC youth over the past decade and more females are engaging in any type of weekly physical activity.
Youth living in rural areas were more likely than urban based students to take part in informal sports opportunities.
Some youth were at greater risk for not being involved in physical activity.
