Figure 1. Prevalence of no muscle strengthening exercise reported by U.S. high school students, overall and by weight status and sex, YRBS 2019. Note. N represents respective overall sample size. Prevalence estimates (%) are weighted and shown above each bar. Estimates are for those reporting 0 days to the question: During the past 7 days, on how many days did you do exercises to strengthen or tone your muscles, such as pushups, sit-ups, or weight lifting? Weight status categories defined as follows: Normal weight: < 85th BMI percentile for age and sex, Overweight: ≥ 85th BMI percentile for age and sex and < 95th BMI percentile for age and sex, Obese: ≥ 95th BMI percentile for age and sex. Error bars represent the 95% confidence intervals for the prevalence estimates. Linear trend p-values are for linear trend test of log odds across weight status levels
