Yes, it is true that "only one-half of U.S. young people regularly participate in the vigorous physical activity". One-fourth report no vigorous physical activity. One-fourth of young people walk or bicycle nearly every day. About 16 percent of young people report no recent vigorous or light to moderate physical activity.

This is true.

According to the CDC 25% of American adults report no physical activity at all. This would be a fourth of the adults. The percentage is lower in adolescents making up around 14% that do not physical activity.
