Analysis

The Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire is a tool used to measure the frequency, duration, and type of physical activities that an individual engages in during their leisure time. It typically includes questions regarding the type of exercise (such as walking, running, swimming, fitness training), the frequency (how many times per week), and the duration (how long each time) of the individual’s physical activity. This tool is often used in research and clinical practice to assess physical activity and its relationship with health and well-being.

Purpose

The purpose of this specific questionnaire is to provide a method for collecting data regarding the physical activity an individual engages in during their leisure time. By using this tool, researchers, nutritionists, doctors, and other health professionals can evaluate a person’s level of activity, record changes in activity levels over time, and examine the relationship between physical activity and health.

Calibration

The LTEQ-2 Questionnaire consists of 2 items which are answered as follows:
1 = Often, 2 = Sometimes, 3 = Never/Rarely
