I'm wondering if there exists a validated questionnaire designed to assess the duration/intensity/type of physical activity someone has taken part in over the past 1-3 days?I've seen many questionnaires (e.g. IPAQ, link to full questionnaire here) where the target time scale is 1 week, but I'm looking for something that captures exercise amount on a much shorter/recent time scaleIdeally it would also be short and quick to administer (for reference, I would consider both versions of the IPAQ too long)I ask because I'm interested in people's recent levels of exercise and I've tried administering a short questionnaire where I ask things like how many minutes of aerobic exercise did you do yesterday? but when I looked at the the data it turns out that >70% of people report 0, so I end up with a zero-inflated variable.This could be due to a poorly worded question, poor response format, or any number of reasons. Ideally, I would conduct a full survey design study and use factor analysis to create/validate a short form questionnaire, but at this point it might be easier to just use one that currently exists, if there is oneDoes anything like this already exist?ReferencesCraig, C.
