Description

For sample adults who had participated in another physical activity (activity number 1) in the past 2 weeks (EXOTHER1), EXOTHER1MIN reports the average number of minutes respondents had spent doing another physical activity (activity number 1) each time they had engaged in that activity over the past 2 weeks.

After determining that a respondent participated in another physical activity (activity number 1), respondents were first asked, "How many times in the past 2 weeks did you participate in another physical activity (activity number 1)?" (EXOTHER1NO). They were then asked, "On the average, about how many minutes did you spend doing another physical activity (activity number 1) each time?" EXOTHER1MIN reports the answer to this last question.

Related Variables 

As a follow-up, respondents were asked how much their heart rate or breathing had increased while doing another physical activity (activity number 1)(EXOTHER1BR).
