Morrow, Jr., FACSM, Allen W. Jackson, FACSM, Earlynn Lauer, Scott B. Martin. University of North Texas, Denton, TX. (No relationships reported) The 2008 US Physical Activity Guidelines (PAG) for Americans suggest improved health benefits with increasing physical activity (PA). Some amount of PA is reported to be better than no PA. The PAG suggest min/week (150) and METmin/week (500) as thresholds for substantial health outcomes. Additional health benefits are reportedly gained with additional PA (i.e., 300 min/week and 1000 METmin/week). PurPOsE: To relate health markers (blood pressure, percent fat, BMI, blood glucose, cholesterol, and cardiorespiratory fitness [CRF]) to levels of self-reported PA associated with PAG recommendations. METhOds: Participants were Cooper Clinic (Dallas TX) physical examination patients. 506 non-smoking participants (367 M; 139 F) completed self-reported PA behaviors and completed medical screening for health markers. CRF was estimated from maximal treadmill time. Self-reported PA behaviors were recoded consistent with PAG (Group 1:
<strong>Thursday</strong>, May 30, 2013 S328 Vol. 45 No. 5 Supplement Physical activity was assessed by using ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometers for seven consecutive days. Mode of travel to school was investigated by questionnaire. Parents were encouraged to help the children to fill out the questionnaire. rEsuLTs:The mean (SD) physical activity level was 731 (200) counts/min among girls and 817 (216) counts/min among boys (p
