NOTE: Because of changes in question context starting in 2011, national Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance (YRBS) prevalence estimates derived from the 60 minutes of physical activity question in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017 are not comparable to those reported in 2009 or earlier. On the 2005–2009 national YRBS questionnaire, physical activity was assessed with three questions (in the following order) that asked the number of days students participated in (1) at least 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity; (2) at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity; and (3) at least 60 minutes of aerobic (moderate and vigorous) physical activity. On the 2011–2017 national YRBS questionnaires, only the 60 minutes of aerobic physical activity question was included.

NOTE: Because of changes in question context starting in 2011, national Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance (YRBS) prevalence estimates derived from the 60 minutes of physical activity question in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017 are not comparable to those reported in 2009 or earlier. On the 2005–2009 national YRBS questionnaire, physical activity was assessed with three questions (in the following order) that asked the number of days students participated in (1) at least 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity; (2) at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity; and (3) at least 60 minutes of aerobic (moderate and vigorous) physical activity. On the 2011–2017 national YRBS questionnaires, only the 60 minutes of aerobic physical activity question was included.

NOTE: Because of changes in question context starting in 2011, national Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance (YRBS) prevalence estimates derived from the 60 minutes of physical activity question in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017 are not comparable to those reported in 2009 or earlier. On the 2005–2009 national YRBS questionnaire, physical activity was assessed with three questions (in the following order) that asked the number of days students participated in (1) at least 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity; (2) at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity; and (3) at least 60 minutes of aerobic (moderate and vigorous) physical activity. On the 2011–2017 national YRBS questionnaires, only the 60 minutes of aerobic physical activity question was included.
