Table summary
This table displays the results of Percent of respondents classified as meeting physical activity threshold according to accelerometer-measured data or self-reported data but not according to both. The information is grouped by Age group/Sex (appearing as row headers), Meeting thresholds according to average daily minutes of accelerometer-measured MVPA, but not according to self-reported LTPA (with exclusions), Meeting thresholds according to self-reported LTPA (with exclusions), but not according to average daily minutes of accelerometer-measured MVPA, % and 95% confidence interval (appearing as column headers).

MVPA = moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
LPTA = leisure-time physical activity
Notes: For 12- to 17-year-olds, the physical activity threshold is 60 minutes a day on average. For those aged 18 or older, the physical activity threshold is 150 minutes a week on average. The four excluded activities are swimming, cycling, weight training and fishing.
