Weekly minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) from daily average

Source: R/exercise.R
calculate_exercise_weekly.Rd

This function takes the average daily minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) across a week of accelerometer use as an input (mvpa_min) and calculates the equivalent weekly MVPA minutes. The result is returned as a numeric value.

Usage

calculate_exercise_weekly(mvpa_min)

Arguments

mvpa_min

numeric A numeric representing the average daily minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) across a week of accelerometer use.

Value

numeric The total weekly minutes of MVPA. If inputs are invalid or out of bounds, the function returns a tagged NA.

Details

The function multiplies the average daily MVPA minutes (mvpa_min) by 7 to obtain the equivalent weekly MVPA minutes.

     **Missing Data Codes:**
     - Propagates tagged NAs from the input `mvpa_min`.
