Description
For sample adults who had participated in golf in the past 2 weeks (EXGOLF), EXGOLFMIN reports the average number of minutes respondents had spent playing gold each time they had engaged in that activity over the past 2 weeks.
After determining that a respondent participated in golfing, respondents were first asked, "How many times in the past 2 weeks did you go golfing?" (EXGOLFNO). They were then asked, "On the average, about how many minutes did you spend golfing each time?" EXGOLFMIN reports the answer to this last question.
Related Variables
As a follow-up, respondents were asked how much their heart rate or breathing had increased while golfing (EXGOLFBR).
EXGOLFMIN is used as one of the input variables in the IHIS-created variable EXSUM1, which is a summary variable that reports whether a respondent would have met the exercise recommendations set forth in the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
