“…Generally, physical activity is low among many populations with a global prevalence of physical inactivity ranging between 24% and 62% (Macera et al, 2003;Kruger, Ham, Kohl, & Sapkota, 2004;Al-Hazzaa, 2004;Dumith, Hallal, Reis, & Kohl III, 2011). Compared to the current study, a previous study had reported a lower prevalence of physical inactivity of 31.4% (Oyeyemi et al, 2013), although that study was conducted in the Northwestern region of Nigeria while the current study was conducted in the Southwestern region of Nigeria, However, it is important to note that participants in the current study were community dwelling individuals who live essentially in high density areas with closely knitted residential buildings, heavy human and vehicular traffic, street trading, on-walkway parking of automobiles and low walkability areas. Adults from neighbourhoods with high walkability areas have been reported to have more than 70 more minutes of physical activity than residents of low walkability neighbourhoods (Saelens, Sallis, Black, & Chen, 2003).…”
