Description
For sample adults who had participated in stretching in the past 2 weeks (EXSTRETCH), EXSTRETCHMIN reports the average number of minutes respondents had spent stretching each time they had engaged in that activity over the past 2 weeks.
After determining that a respondent participated in stretching, respondents were first asked, "How many times in the past 2 weeks did you strech?" (EXSTRETCHNO). They were then asked, "On the average, about how many minutes did you spend stretching each time?" EXSTRETCHMIN reports the answer to this last question.
Related Variables
EXSTRETCHMIN 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.
