TL;DR: In this article, a coding scheme for classifying physical activity by rate of energy expenditure, i.e., by intensity, was presented for classification of physical activity using five digits that classify activity by purpose (i.e. sports, occupation, sel

TL;DR: A questionnaire for evaluating energy expenditure in leisure time physical activity (LTA) along with information about its validity is presented in this paper, which is valid for use in longitudinal studies in North America of the relationship of physical activity to disease, in weight control clinics and in other researches in which leisure-time physical activity is of interest.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: There are multiple, nonoverlapping dimensions of physical activity, reflected in multiple non overlapping validation realms, and most questionnaires were related to performance of heavy intensity physical activity and treadmill performance; these same questionnaires tended to be related to percent body fat.
