Only 5.07% of Americans say they engage in vigorous physical activity on any given 24-hour period, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. In fact, one quarter of respondents mentioned preparing food and drink as their moderate physical activity. In this report, non-work (physical) activities were classed as either sedentary, light, moderate, or vigorous.
In order to find out what the most commonly reported non-work and non-sleep activities were according to intensity, reported by American adults, investigators from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, analyzed data gathered between 2003 and 2008 from nearly 80,000 respondents to ATUS (American Time Use Survey).
