INTERNATIONAL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY QUESTIONNAIRE

FOR USE WITH YOUNG AND MIDDLE-AGED ADULTS (15-69 years)

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
being physically active in the last 7 days. Please answer each question even if you do not consider yourself to be an active person. Please think about the activities
at work, as part of your house and yard work, to get from place to place, and in your spare time for recreation, exercise or sport.

Think about all the vigorous activities that you did in the last 7 days. Vigorous physical activities refer to activities that take hard physical effort and make you b
much harder than normal. Think only about those physical activities that you did for at least 10 minutes at a time.

1. During the last 7 days, on how many days did you do vigorous physical activities like heavy lifting, digging, aerobics, or fast bicycling?

days per week No vigorous physical activities. Skip to question 3

2. How much time did you usually spend doing vigorous physical activities on one of those days?

hours per day minutes per day Don’t know/Not sure

Think about all the moderate activities that you did in the last 7 days. Moderate activities refer to activities that take moderate physical effort and make you b
somewhat harder than normal. Think only about those physical activities that you did for at least 10 minutes at a time.

3. During the last 7 days, on how many days did you do moderate physical activities like carrying light loads, bicycling at a regular pace, or doubles tennis? Do not
include walking.

days per week No moderate physical activities. Skip to question 5

4. How much time did you usually spend doing moderate physical activities on one of those days?

hours per day minutes per day Don’t know/Not sure

Think about the time you spent walking in the last 7 days. This includes at work and at home, walking to travel from place to place, and any other walking that you h
done solely for recreation, sport, exercise, or leisure.

5. During the last 7 days, on how many days did you walk for at least 10 minutes at a time?

days per week No walking. Skip to question 7

6. How much time did you usually spend walking on one of those days?

hours per day minutes per day Don’t know/Not sure

The last question is about the time you spent sitting on weekdays during the last 7 days. Include time spent at work, at home, while doing course work and during le
time. This may include time spent sitting at a desk, visiting friends, reading, or sitting or lying down to watch television.

7. During the last 7 days, how much time did you spend sitting on a week day?

hours per day minutes per day Don’t know/Not sure

This is the end of the questionnaire, thank you for participating.

Dear Madam/Sir, this report is the esteem of your weekly metabolic commitment to walk and to perform physical activities of moderate and vigorous intensities. The calculations have
the purpose of sorting your daily physical activity in order to know if the quantity and the quality of weekly movement should be increased, or not, in order to assure prevention of all
those diseases found correlated with a sedentary lifestyle. This automatic report was created by Andrea Di Blasio, Ph.D., Francesco Di Donato, B.Sc. and Christian Mazzocco, at
"Endocrinology Unit" of the "Department of Medicine and Aging Sciences" of "G. d'Annunzio" University of Chieti-Pescara (Italy), following the IPAQ scoring protocol.

Walking 0 MET-min/week 0.00 Kcal/week

Moderate physical activities 0 MET-min/week 0.00 Kcal/week
Vigorous physical activities 0 MET-min/week 0.00 Kcal/week
Total 0 MET-min/week 0.00 Kcal/week

Weekly physical activity level

According to your report, from Monday to Friday, the time spent in sedentary activities is, meanly,
0 hour/s 0 minutes/day

COMMENT
Both quantity and quality of your daily physical activity need improvement. You should dedicate 150 to 300 minutes per week to moderate intensity physical activity to
promote prevention of cardiometabolic diseases and some cancers. In parallel, you also should reduce your sedentary time. More than 7 hours per day of sedentary
activity is associated with an increase of 60% in the risk of death, compared to those total less than 1. An optimal target is to maintain daily sedentary time below to 4
hours, even if this may not always be possible because of health and/or job characteristics.
MET-min/week. The Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET), or metabolic equivalent, is a physiological measure expressing the energy cost of physical activities and is defined as the ratio of metabolic rate (and therefore the rate of energy consumption) during a specific physical activity to a
reference metabolic rate, usually represented by resting metabolic rate. In this case, the variable MET-min/week expresses weekly metabolic engagement in walking, and in both moderate and vigorous physical activities practice.

This report does not constitute diagnosis.

Do not forget to consult your physician before to start a physical exercise program.
