Health Equity: Access to Outdoor Fitness Equipment
1Department of Kinesiology, San Francisco State University, San Francisco, CA.
Abstract:
Adequate outdoor fitness equipment is essential for physical activity in lower income neighborhoods. San Francisco, CA, in the United States will be highlighted as a city with a large death rate, which could be improved by installing, promoting, and allowing access to fitness equipment. More than 2700 accidental overdose deaths have occurred since the year 2019, with a projected cumulative death rate expected to exceed 3000 human lives by the end of 2023. A contrast of the health inequities is illuminated in one of the nation's wealthiest cities. This is a call to action to bring about change, save lives, and promote healthier behavior.
