What do we mean by physical activity?

• ‘Active’ means an average of 150 minutes of moderately intense activity per week.
• ‘Fairly Active’ means an average of 30-149 minutes of moderately intense activity per week.
• ‘Inactive’ means less than an average of 30 minutes of moderately intense activity per week.

When we say there is a statistically significant change, this means we can be confident that the differences seen in the surveyed respondents are reflective of the population.
