Fitness Self-Test: How Active Are You?

PRODUCED BY: ETR Associates

TYPE OF MATERIAL: Brochure (8 panel)

APPROPRIATE POPULATIONS: Multi-ethnic, Adults, Sedentary Individuals Initiating Exercise

READING LEVEL (SMOG): 7th Grade

PUBLICATION DATE: 1998

Comments:
This material promotes the current physical activity message for US adults by first using a simple quiz to see if the individual is active, how much they actually know about physical activity, and then listing reasons why physical activity is important. The material presents the physical activity message in a clear and creative manner that is easy to follow due to its simplicity. The reading level for this material, which is at an 7th grade level, is slightly inflated due to the phrase "physical activity" being used frequently. Overall, this is a good piece of material that presents a realistic quiz for an individual to determine where they are personally and what they know about physical activity.
