Description

For sample adults who had participated in bowling in the past 2 weeks (EXBOWL), EXBOWLBR reports whether respondents usually experienced a small, moderate, or large increase, or no increase at all in their heart rate or breathing while bowling.

After determining that a respondent participated in bowling, respondents were first asked, "How many times in the past 2 weeks did you bowl?" (EXBOWLNO). They were then asked, "On the average, about how many minutes did you spend bowling?" (EXBOWLMIN). Finally, to obtain information for EXBOWLBR, respondents were asked, "What usually happened to your heart rate or breathing when you bowled? Did you have a small, moderate, or large increase, or no increase at all in your heart rate or breathing?"
