CONCLusION: Boys and girls who participated in a larger variety of activities<br />
were more likely to meet the aerobic activity guideline. Our findings support<br />
encouraging youth to participate in a variety of physical activities.<br />

The 2008 US Physical Activity Guidelines (PAG) for Americans suggest improved<br />
health benefits with increasing physical activity (PA). Some amount of PA is reported<br />
to be better than no PA. The PAG suggest min/week (150) and METmin/week (500)<br />
as thresholds for substantial health outcomes. Additional health benefits are reportedly<br />
gained with additional PA (i.e., 300 min/week and 1000 METmin/week).<br />
PurPOsE: To relate health markers (blood pressure, percent fat, BMI, blood<br />
glucose, cholesterol, and cardiorespiratory fitness [CRF]) to levels of self-reported PA<br />
associated with PAG recommendations.<br />
METhOds: Participants were Cooper Clinic (Dallas TX) physical examination<br />
patients. 506 non-smoking participants (367 M; 139 F) completed self-reported PA<br />
behaviors and completed medical screening for health markers. CRF was estimated<br />
from maximal treadmill time. Self-reported PA behaviors were recoded consistent with<br />
