About This Database

You are browsing a database of standardized questionnaires that ask about respondents' walking and bicycling habits. The Applied Research Program maintains this database, but, except where noted, did not create and does not maintain the questionnaires themselves. For more information about a specific questionnaire, please contact its author(s). When possible, we cite the source of each questionnaire near the top of the page.

Cardia Physical Activity Questionnaire - Form 18

Please look at this card. I'll be asking you whether you do the activities listed. Only include the time spent actually doing the activity. For example, sitting by the pool does not count as time swimming; sitting in a chair lift does not count for skiing.

First, I'll ask you about vigorous activities. Vigorous activities increase your heart rate, or make you sweat doing them, or make you breathe hard or raise your body temperature. If you do an activity but not vigorously please include it later when I ask you about other non-strenuous sports.

C1) Did you bicycle faster than 10 miles/hour or exercise hard on an exercise bicycle in the past 12 months for at least one hour total time?

Now I'd like to ask you about leisurely activities.
