Regular physical exercise of Australians, January/February, 1985

A study (au.edu.anu.assda.ddi.00352) was conducted for the purpose of establishing accurate data on the proportion of the population which is regularly and persistently active, to assist in planning appropriate recreation and fitness programs. As a supplement to this, persons who nominated having undertaken regular physical exercise were asked extra questions. This file (au.edu.anu.assda.ddi.00353) contains the responses to those extra questions, the sample size being approximately two-thirds of the sample from the first part of the study. Respondents were asked about the number of days per week in which this exercise is done, and whether it is usually jogging, running, walking, cycling, swimming, exercise at home, exercise at a health club or something else. Background variables include age, sex, marital status, education, occupation, income, state, electorate, birthplace, work status, number of children, religion, type of dwelling, size of town.
