Although previous studies have assessed the relative contributions of each domain to total physical activity using averages, the distribution among diverse individuals remains unclear. We aimed to develop a visualization approach to assess the distribution of the relative contributions of each domain to physical activity. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> We used nationally representative data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017\u20132018 for the United States and 2020 Sasakawa Sports Foundation National Sports-Life Survey for Japan; both utilized the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. We calculated each domain\u2019s relative contribution to total physical activity and created histograms of ternary plots. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> The distribution of each domain\u2019s relative contributions to total physical activity demonstrated that most participants from the United States and Japan concentrated their activity in 1 or 2 domains. However, clusters of domain composition differed between the 2 countries. In the United States, work\/household contributions were highest (50.6%), with fewer individuals having high travel contributions. In Japan, travel contributed the most (41.7%), with many clusters showing low work\/household contributions. The average total moderate and vigorous physical activity in both countries was higher among those with greater work\/household contributions. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusions<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Our novel visualization approach demonstrated that most participants concentrate their physical activity in 1 or 2 domains. Given the diverse ways to meet physical activity guidelines, it is crucial to adopt a systems approach that considers each domain, from enhancing active transportation to promoting recreational physical activity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/jpah.2025-0053","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,17]],"date-time":"2025-06-17T14:11:29Z","timestamp":1750169489000},"page":"971-978","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Where do People Engage in Physical Activity?
