compared to 24% in their second round.

Table 129 illustrates the frequency per week of exercising at a moderate or vigorous
level for 30 minutes (from the Health and Lifestyle Survey 2007; see section 13.2.1.2 on
page 791 for more information) in relation to the frequency of exercise and intensity
level questions combined in the Community Physical Activity Survey. There was a slight
difference in the questions so it is possible that this could have a small influence on the
results.
For both men and women aged 45 years or older, there was a statistically significantly
higher percentage of Community Physical Activity Survey participants exercising to
national guidelines compared to the local Health and Lifestyle Survey 2007. Whilst it is
possible that community group participants over-estimated their physical activity levels,
the differences are very marked. Therefore, with such large differences, it is likely that
there is a real effect as over-estimation and the slight differences in questions are likely
to have made only a small difference. This suggests that community groups are useful
for increasing exercise levels in the community.
