Specific scores for walking, moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity activity within each of the work, transportation, domestic chores and gardening (yard) and leisure-time domains. The items in the long IPAQ form were structured to provide separate domain Examples include walking for transportation and moderate-intensity leisure-time activity.ĥ.
The IPAQ long form asks details about the specific types of activities undertaken within each of the four domains. Domain specific estimates cannot be estimated.Ĥ. Computation of the total score for the short form requires summation of the duration (in minutes) and frequency (days) of walking, moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity activities. The items in the short IPAQ form were structured to provide separate scores on walking, moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity activity. The specific types of activity that are assessed are walking, moderate-intensity activities and vigorous-intensity activities.ģ. The IPAQ short form asks about three specific types of activity undertaken in domestic and gardening (yard) activities c. IPAQ assesses physical activity undertaken across a comprehensive set ofĭomains including: a. Summary Characteristics of IPAQ Short and Long Forms 1. Use as an outcome measure in small scale intervention studies is not recommended. Users should carefully note the range of domains and types of activities included in IPAQ before using it in this context. IPAQ short and long forms are sometimes being used as an evaluation tool in intervention studies, but this was not the intended purpose of IPAQ. It has been developed and tested for use in adults (age range of 15-69 years) and until further development and testing is undertaken the use of IPAQ with older and younger age groups is not recommended. Uses of IPAQ Instruments IPAQ short form is an instrument designed primarily for population surveillance of physical activity among adults. Use of these scoring methods will enhance the comparability between surveys, provided identical sampling and survey methods have been used. The use of different scoring protocols makes it very difficult to compare within and between countries, even when the same instrument has been used.
Latest versions of IPAQ instruments are available from Although there are many different ways to analyse physical activity data, to date there is no formal consensus on a ‘correct’ method for defining or describing levels of physical activity based on self–report population surveys. The methods outlined provide a revision to earlier scoring protocols for the IPAQ short form and provide for the first time a comparable scoring method for IPAQ long form. Introduction This document describes recommended methods of scoring the data derived from the telephone / interview administered and self-administered IPAQ short and long form instruments.
