Abstract

3024 residents of 12 rural Missouri counties were interviewed by telephone to measure their support for policies supporting physical activity. The majority supported zoning regulations to promote exercise (85%), use of local funds for exercise facilities (77%), employers providing time to exercise during work (58%), mandatory physical education (95%), and eliminating competitive sports before eliminating physical education (85%).
