| DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT | |
| Type Of Measure | Questionnaire |
| Brief Description |
IPEQ is a self-report questionnaire that covers the frequency and duration of several levels of planned and incidental physical activity in older people. It is suitable for use in ageing research including falls prevention trials. There are two versions of the test; i.e. measuring average physical activity per week over the past three months and measuring physical activity over the past week. |
| Number of Items | Ten validated multiple choice questions. |
| Range | --- |
| Responses options/scale |
No |
| Developed for | Clinical practice, Research |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | Online/Mail based, Self-administered |
| Recommendations to score |
Total time spent is summed across all components and expressed as hours per week. The score is derived from multiplying frequency score and duration score to create a total duration for the week score Total activity = (Q1*Q2) + (Q3*Q4) + (Q5*Q6) + (Q7*Q8) + (Q9*7) + (Q10*7) |
| Score Interpretation | Scores are interpretable to time spent physically active. |
