Knowledge of CVS recommendations separated by duration (150 min/week), intensity (moderate or vigorous) and frequency (at least 5 days/week). Strength recommendations assessed as correct if response was 2 days/week of any form of strength training. Data presented as number (percentage). Each individual factor analysed separately for whole group (n=118), meaning some participants scored more than once.
