Abstract
Here we evaluate the time trends of urban-rural differences in physical activity in the European Union between
2002 and 2017 and the contribution of urbanization on total physical activity changes, using four Eurobarometer
surveys (n = 101,373). Trajectories of urban-rural differences in physical activity varied considerably among EU28 countries. Hierarchical linear regression models revealed that inactivity increased in both urban and rural
settings, although it was higher in the latter. Thereby, the urban-rural gap diminished and was even eliminated in
some countries. Also, national changes across time were driven by urban places, showing little contribution from
urbanization. Our findings suggest that inactivity has risen in Europe regardless of living environments and with
regional urbanization development having little influence.
