School Health Action, Planning and Evaluation System (SHAPES) Physical Activity Questionnaire

In: Wong SL, Leatherdale ST, Manske SR. Reliability and validity of a school-based physical activity questionnaire. Med Sci Sports Exerc 2006 Sep;38(9):1593-600. [View Abstract]

In the last 7 days, how did you usually get to and from school?

  • Actively (e.g., walk, bike, skateboard)
  • Inactively (e.g., car, bus, public transit)
  • Mixed (actively and inactively)

MODERATE physical activities are lower intensity activities such as walking, biking to school, and recreational swimming.

Mark how many minutes of MODERATE physical activity you did in the last 7 days. This includes physical activity during physical education class, lunch, recess, after school, evenings, and spare time.

For example: if you did 2 hours and 45 minutes of moderate activity on Monday, you will need to fill in the 2 hour circle and the 45 minute circle, as shown below:

DAY HOURS MINUTES
Monday 0 1 2 3 4 0 15 30 45
Tuesday 0 1 2 3 4 0 15 30 45
Wednesday 0 1 2 3 4 0 15 30 45
Thursday 0 1 2 3 4 0 15 30 45
Friday 0 1 2 3 4 0 15 30 45
Saturday 0 1 2 3 4 0 15 30 45
