What are the current guidelines for physical activity in the U.S.?

The current guidelines adopted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2008 ) recommend adults engage in 150 minutes per week of moderate physical activity, 75 minutes per week of vigorous activity, or any "equivalent combination" of these two intensities. Objective measurements from a large population-based sample indicate that approximately 5% of adults meet these guidelines (Troiano et al., 2008).?
