title: Youth physical activity resource use and activity measured by accelerometry.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine whether use of physical activity resources (eg, parks) was associated with daily physical activity measured by accelerometry.
  
  
  METHODS
  One hundred eleven adolescents completed a travel diary with concurrent accelerometry. The main exposure was self-reported use of a physical activity resource (none /1+ resources). The main outcomes were total minutes spent in daily (1) moderate-vigorous physical activity and (2) vigorous physical activity.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Using a physical activity resource was significantly associated with total minutes in moderate-vigorous physical activity. African Americans and males had significantly greater moderate-vigorous physical activity.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Results from this study support the development and use of physical activity resources.
