College students have been identified as exhibiting a variety of health risk behaviors, including the lack of regular physical activity (PA). A criticism of many theories and models of behavior change is the emphasis on individual behavior modification, rather than on sociocultural and physical environmental influences of behavior. By learning more about the influence of the physical environment on PA, the risky behavior of inactivity may be decreased. University and college communities are unique environmental constructs that serve as a place to learn, work, and play for a large number of individuals following their years in high school. These college years may play an important role in establishing patterns of active living, which may affect the remainder of their lives. College communities and the environments that may be linked to PA appear to be a vastly under studied population. The purpose of this study was to assess awareness and use of a university recreational walking trail. An internet questionnaire developed by the university’s Institutional Research Department was used. Questions were derived from the Environmental Supports for Physical Activity Questionnaire and the National College Health Risk Behavior Survey Physical Activity Module. A standard 8.5/11 piece of paper was placed in every students’ mailbox with information about the questionnaire and its on-line location. Four-hundred and sixty seven students (N=467) completed the questionnaire. Ninety-one percent of students reported being aware of the walking trail, and 73% reported using the trail. Sixty-four percent of students reported seeing signage referring to the recreational trail. Sixty-seven percent of the students reported using the trail once in the past week, 7% reported using the trail twice, while only 2% of the students reported using the trail more than three times. Students aware of the trail were more likely to use the trail. However, of the individuals who used the trail the majority of users only used the trail one day a week.Keyword(s): college level issues, physical activity
