Kingdom health figures support community activity
Statistics from Saudi Arabia's health sector in 2026 indicate that approximately 60% of adults meet the recommended levels of physical activity. The Najran and Asir regions stand out, with participation rates reaching about 68% and 30%, respectively. Among children and adolescents, the percentage engaging in the required daily activity ranges between 11% and 30%, depending on the region. The data also reflects a shift in lifestyle patterns, marked by increased health awareness and the expansion of community initiatives. Events such as the Riyadh Marathon recorded a record participation of 50,000 runners. Healthcare and development institutions emphasize that engaging in physical activity contributes to enhancing quality of life and overall health, supports efforts to prevent chronic diseases, and continues to see growth in activity levels while reducing gender gaps.
