Cycle physical activity.active transportation domain [IPAQ]

Definition

A patient's cycling physical activity in the active transportation domain can be reported as a continuous variable based on the duration (e.g. in minutes) and frequency (e.g. days) of bicycling to and from work, to do errands, or to go from place to place. The activity level is reported in MET-minutes/week or MET-minutes/day, although the former is more frequently used and is thus suggested.
