aTwo of the 22 men in this study did not complete a physical activity diary.
bAverage minutes per day spent engaged in that activity among men who ever reported that particular activity.
cMET: metabolic task equivalent.
dOnly one man reported rowing or hiking, so we did not calculate a standard deviation.
