Abstract

2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Sample and Procedure
2.2. Measures
2.2.1. Sociodemographic Questions
2.2.2. International Physical Activity Questionnaire
- Vigorous MET-minutes/week = 8.0 * minutes of activity per day * days of activity per week;
- Moderate MET-minutes/week = 4.0 * minutes of activity per day * days of activity per week;
- Walking MET-minutes/week = 3.3 * minutes of activity per day * days of activity per week.
- High level of physical activity—participants who spend three or more days of vigorous activity accumulating at least 1500 MET min/week or had seven days of any combination of walking, moderate-intensity, or vigorous-intensity activities achieving a minimum of 3000 MET min/week.
- Moderate intensity—participants who had three or more days of vigorous exercise for at least 20 min/day or five or more days of moderate-intensity activity or walking for at least 30 min/day or five or more days of any combination of walking, moderate-intensity, or vigorous-intensity activities, achieving a minimum of 600 MET min/week.
- Low level of physical activity—participants who did not have any exercise or did not have enough to meet the moderate and high categories [30] (p. 3).
