Description

For sample adults who had participated in racquetball in the past 2 weeks (EXRACQUET), EXRACQUETMIN reports the average number of minutes respondents had spent playing racquetball each time they had engaged in that activity over the past 2 weeks.

After determining that a respondent participated in racquetball, respondents were first asked, "How many times in the past 2 weeks did you do play racquetball?" (EXRACQUETNO). They were then asked, "On the average, about how many minutes did you spend playing racquetball each time?" EXRACQUETMIN reports the answer to this last question.
