LOINC code 62830-5 identifies "PhenX - total physical activity - comprehensive - adolescent protocol 150701". This purpose of this questionnaire is to estimate the amount of physical activity that you perform. The name of each day (Tuesday, Monday, and Sunday) that you will describe is located in the top right hand corner of each time sheet. The child recalls all of the physical activities he/she engaged in during the previous 3 days. The researcher utilizes a script and examples to introduce the questionnaire. An activities scale includes pictures of typical activities and the intensity of those activities. Using the activities scale, each child should complete a time activity log for each day. The child should enter an activity number (from the activities scale) and a checkmark (for the intensity) for each 30 minute increment of each day. This protocol has usually been administered by a researcher visiting a 8th or 9th grade school classroom and conducting the instructions and the completion of the forms in-person with the students. Based on the script, at least one weekend day of activities is collected in the 3 day recall. If determining energy expenditure, weight is an essential variable.
