Description
For sample adults who had participated in soccer in the past 2 weeks (EXSOCCER), EXSOCCERMIN reports the average number of minutes respondents had spent playing soccer each time they had engaged in that activity over the past 2 weeks.
After determining that a respondent participated in soccer, respondents were first asked, "How many times in the past 2 weeks did you play soccer?" (EXSOCCERNO). They were then asked, "On the average, about how many minutes did you spend playing soccer each time?" EXSOCCERMIN 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 playing soccer(EXSOCCERBR).
EXSOCCERMIN 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.
