Indicates whether a patient is meeting the recommended guidelines for various types of physical activities, including aerobic, bone-strengthening and muscle-strengthening activities.

If they do muscle-strengthen activities less than 3 day per week, they are not meeting the recommended guidelines according to the 2008 PAG. If they do more than 3 days per week, they are exceeding the recommended amount.
