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.
