Notes: Authors’ analysis of cross-sectional data from the 2007 CDS. All data are weighted. Standard errors in parenthesis. PL denotes passive leisure. AL-1denotes active leisure/sports without the PSID variable “active leisure/play games included.” It therefore represents the narrow measure of active leisure (AL) time. AL-2 denotes the broader definition of the concept, which includes time spent playing games.
