I am using the french version of the Baecke habitual physical activity questionnaire (AQAP, 22 items) and have difficulty calculating the scores. I would like to know how you use this questionnaire, and to get an idea of scores are obtained in different studies.
Dear Alexandra
The Sport Index is divided into four categories ( 4 hrs) and each of these categories has an appropriate coefficient (0.5; 1.5; 2.5; 3.5 and 4.5) Usual daily activity and leisure activity are scored in a range of from 0 to 5. Global PA will be the sum of 3 indexes.
Maybe this article will be helpful for You.

What do you know about the intensity of sport? Let's say what is written in the questionnaire: "The sport intensity is divided into 3 levels: (1) low level (billiards sailing bowling golf etc) with an average energy expenditure of 0.76 MK/h; (2) middle level (badminton cycling dancing swimming tennis) with an average energy expenditure of 1.26 MJ/h; (3) high level (boxing basketball football rugby rowing) with an average energy expenditure of 1.76 MJ/h". If we use the Compendium tables of the MET we see that activities like badminton have an energy consumption of 7 MET or 7 kcal/hr, then 0,03 Mj/h, quite different from 1.26!! I can not interpret the part concerning the intensity of the sport practiced. Can someone help me?
