Abstract

A questionnaire is presented for evaluating energy expenditure in leisure time physical activity (LTA), along with information about its validity. Administered by trained interviewers, the Minnesota LTA questionnaire is valid for use in longitudinal studies in North America of the relationship of physical activity to disease, in weight control clinics, and in other researches in which leisure time physical activity is of interest.
