Literal question

1016. I am going to ask you about the time you spent being physically active in the last 7 days. This is about the activities you do at work, as part of your house and yard work, to get from place to place in your spare time, exercise or sport.

Now, think about all the vigorous activities which take hard physcial effort that you did in the past 7 days: activties that make you breathe much harder than normal and may include heavy lifting, digging, jogging, or fast bicycling. Think about only those physical activities that you did at least 15 minutes at a time.

In the last 7 days, on how many days did you do vigorous physical activities that lasted for at least 15 mins each time?

IF 'NONE' RECORD '0'.
