For quarters 3 and 4 of 1975, the NHIS included questions related to physical activity. According to the survey form, "the U.S. Public Health Service would like to know how many adults participate in some exercise, or in one or more popular sports." In addition to being questioned about doing calisthenics, respondents were asked if they did any of six other exercises on a regular basis.
