How this is worked out, and its limits
These are the seven questions of the IPAQ short form, scored by the standard 2005 protocol: MET-minutes = minutes × days × 3.3 (walking), 4.0 (moderate) or 8.0 (vigorous), with each category capped at 180 minutes a day. High: vigorous on 3+ days reaching 1500 MET-minutes, or any mix on 7 days reaching 3000. Moderate: vigorous 3+ days of 20 minutes, or moderate/walking 5+ days of 30 minutes, or any mix on 5+ days reaching 600. Otherwise low.
WHO 2020: 150 to 300 minutes of moderate or 75 to 150 of vigorous activity a week, plus muscle-strengthening on two days. Self-report tends to overstate activity; use this for the trend.
