To meet both the aerobic and muscle-strengthening guidelines from the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, respondents had to report engaging in at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week, or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity and participating in muscle-strengthening physical activity at least two times per week.
Prevalence of respondents who report participating in muscle-strengthening physical activity at least two times per week.
Prevalence of respondents who report engaging in at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week, or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity.
