Health Behaviours: Physically Active Population, 1996 to 1997

Health Behaviours: Physically Active Population, 1996 to 1997 The proportion of population « physically active » is based on the energy demands of a series of leisure-time activities that people participated in during the three months previous to the survey. Most scientific evidence is supportive of physical activity as a positive determinant of health. Greater health benefits can be achieved by increasing the amount-duration, frequency, or intensity-of physical activity. In Alberta and British Columbia, the 12+ years age group is far more active than their counterparts in other provinces. 2022-03-14 Natural Resources Canada geoinfo@nrcan.gc.ca Society and Culturefitnesshealthmap Download the English JP2 File through HTTPJP2 https://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/raster/atlas_6_ed/eng/680_health_behaviours_physically_active_population_1996_1997.jp2 Download the English ZIP (PDF,JPG) file through HTTPZIP https://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/raster/atlas_6_ed/eng/680_health_behaviours_physically_active_population_1996_1997.zip Download the French JP2 File through HTTPother https://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/raster/atlas_6_ed/fra/680_comportements_sante_population_active_physiquement_1996_1997.jp2 Download the French ZIP (PDF, JPG) File through HTTPZIP https://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/raster/atlas_6_ed/fra/680_comportements_sante_population_active_physiquement_1996_1997.zip
