Abstract: Objective: Examine associations between college students' physical activity (PA) resource use and PA levels during the pandemic, identifying sociodemographic disparities in resource use. Participants: Undergraduate and graduate college students. Methods: Data were from the COVID-19 Texas College Student Experiences Survey (n = 904). Ordinal logistic regressions examined relationships between resource use and PA levels. Logistic regressions explored resource use differences by sociodemographics. Results: Students using off-campus gyms, parks/trails, home/neighborhood, and online resources exhibited higher PA levels (p < 0.01). Males had greater off-campus gym use (vs. females; p < 0.05). Park/trail use was less likely among students with overweight/obesity (vs healthy weight; p < 0.05) and Asian or Other race (vs. White; p < 0.05). Students 45 years and older were less likely to use parks/trails, online, or home/neighborhood resources (vs. 18–25-year-olds; p < 0.05). Conclusions: Higher education institutions should move beyond general promotion and diversify PA resources to promote health enhancing PA among college students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
