The IPAQ Questionnaire


Dear Participants,
By answering to the following survey, You have the opportunity to assess and evaluate the kinds (and quality) of physical activities that You do on a weekly basis. Please, proceed to answer even if you don not consider yourself an active person: think about the activities you carry out at work, at home (i.e. gardening and house cleaning), walks to get from place to place, etc.
We are interested in finding out about the kinds of physical activities that people do as part of their everyday lives. The questions will ask you about the time you spent being physically active in the last 7 days. Please answer each question even if you do not consider yourself to be an active person.
