22 The questions used in the survey since 1998 are based on the Allied Dunbar National Fitness Survey, a major study of physical activity among the adult population in England carried out in 1990.

24 The questions on child physical activity included in SHeS since 1998 are based on the 1997 Health Survey for England (HSE) children's physical activity module.

25 These knowledge questions were included in the self-completion questionnaire. One version of the self-completion is designed for 16-17 year olds, and another is designed for those aged 20 and over. Some 18 and 19 year olds complete the adult (20+) version, whereas some complete the one for 16-17 year olds. The physical activity guidelines define adults as 19 and over, so the older adult version of the self-completion asked about knowledge of the weekly recommended activity levels for adults, while younger adults were asked about daily recommended levels for 5- 18 year olds. 18 year olds who were asked about weekly hours have been excluded from the measures presented. Similarly, 19 year olds who were asked about daily hours are not included.

26 Full question text is available in Volume 2 Annex A.

27 This differs from the figure published in the Scottish Health Survey report: Rutherford, L. and Reid, S. (2013). Knowledge, attitudes and motivations to health, 2008-11. Edinburgh: NHS Health Scotland. The 24% who knew the recommendation according to that publication was based on a more generous understanding of knowing the recommendation, rather than an exact 30 minutes and 5 days used to calculate the 10% noted here.
