Description

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

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