Note: Data were adjusted for non-responses, age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population, and weighted to provide state and overall estimates. Confidence intervals were calculated using SUDAAN to adjust for the complex survey sample design.

* "Recommended," "Insufficient," and "Inactive" data comprise one measure, and responses should sum to ~100%. "No Leisure-Time Physical Activity" is a separate question, and should not be included with calculations for the recommended, insufficient, or inactive.
Recommended physical activity (meeting the "Healthy People 2010 Objectives") is defined as reported moderate-intensity activities in a usual week (i.e., brisk walking, bicycling, vacuuming, gardening, or anything else that causes small increases in breathing or heart rate) for at least 30 minutes per day, at least 5 days per week; or vigorous-intensity activities in a usual week (i.e., running, aerobics, heavy yard work, or anything else that causes large increases in breathing or heart rate) for at least 20 minutes per day, at least 3 days per week or both. This can be accomplished through lifestyle activities (i.e., household, transportation, or leisure-time activities). Insufficient physical activity is defined as doing more than 10 minutes total per week of moderate or vigorous-intensity lifestyle activities (i.e., household, transportation, or leisure-time activity), but less than the recommended level of activity. Inactivity is defined as less than 10 minutes total per week of moderate or vigorous-intensity lifestyle activities (i.e., household, transportation, or leisure-time activity). No leisure-time physical activity is defined as no reported leisure-time physical activities (i.e., any physical activities or exercises such as running, calisthenics, golf, gardening, or walking) in the previous month. N/A = Data are not shown because sample size is <50. For more information, see the BRFSS documentation http://www.cdc.gov/brfss/technical_infodata/surveydata.htm No Data = Data are not shown because the state did not ask for this information in the survey. If National Average shows "no data" the average could not be calculated because all states did not ask the physical activity questions. 95% CI = Confidence Interval
