The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) will be used to measure health-related physical activity in populations. IPAQ has reasonable measurement properties for monitoring population levels of physical activity among 18-65 years old adults in diverse settings. The questions are about the time you spent being physically active in the last 7 days. They include questions about activities you do at work, as part of your house and yard work, to get from place to place, and in your spare time for.
