Description
For sample adults, PA18AERSTR reports whether their reported physical activity met the strength and/or aerobic criteria of the 2018 Health and Human Services Physical Activity Guidelines. According to the 2020 Survey Description, the Guidelines "recommend that adults complete at least 150 minutes to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, or 75 minutes to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week, as well as moderate or greater intensity muscle strengthening activities on two or more days a week." This information is reported in MOD10DMIN, VIG10DMIN, and STRONGFWK.

Question text:
The next questions are about physical activities such as exercise, sports, or physically active
hobbies that you may do in your LEISURE time. We are interested in two types of physical
activity --- moderate and vigorous-intensity. Moderate-intensity activities cause moderate
increases in breathing or heart rate whereas vigorous-intensity activities cause large increases
in breathing or heart rate.
How often do you do MODERATE-INTENSITY LEISURE-TIME physical activities?
* If necessary, prompt with: How many times per day, per week, per month, or per year do you do
these activities?
* Enter number for moderate leisure-time physical activities.
* Enter '0' for Never.
* Enter '996' if unable to do this type of activity.
