      ab: Context & Objective: Written a decade ago, the 2015 Rural Active Living: A Call to Action (published in 2016) described rural-specific efforts in the fields of active living and physical activity (PA) and identified 8 recommendations to guide rural active living research and practice. Given that rural populations continue to experience a higher burden of PA-related chronic health conditions, the objective of this review was to revisit the 8 Rural Active Living Calls to Action, reassess the evidence base, summarize advances in each area, and identify emerging areas that warrant examination or further study. Methods: We leveraged expertise from researchers and practitioners within the CDC-funded Physical Activity Policy Research and Evaluation Network Rural Active Living Workgroup and reviewed literature published since the original call to action. Teams were formed for each of the original 8 calls to action. Each team reviewed the literature, synthesized findings, and developed recommendations for future research. Results: Academic and practice-based progress was evident across multiple of the original calls to action. Despite these findings, the need persists for rural-specific national surveillance data scaled to small geographies (census tract and block group) that accounts for differences within and across rural communities, various forms of rural governance, and how these factors interplay with active living opportunities. Six emerging areas of research (best practices, social issues, COVID-19 effects, collaboration, implementation science, and implications of rural health-related funding changes) are discussed and warrant further study. Conclusions: In summarizing progress since the original Call to Action, we recommend strategies to continue advancing rural active living and identify emerging focus areas.
