Table 4 Comparison of GPPAQ questionnaire information and MVPA from accelerometry

		Total weekly MVPA in 10 min bouts	Achieved DH Guidelines for physical activity¹
Baseline standard GPPAQ Physical Activity Index	N	Mean (sd)	N (%)
Inactive	152	91 (112)	36 (24 %)
Moderately inactive	35	84 (91)	8 (23 %)
Moderately active	55	96 (111)	12 (22 %)
Active	47	99 (111)	13 (28 %)
Baseline standard GPPAQ-WALK Physical Activity Index²
Inactive	123	80 (97)	27 (22 %)
Moderately inactive	30	85 (93)	6 (20 %)
Moderately active	44	86 (108)	9 (20 %)
Active	92	115 (126)	27 (29 %)

1. DH Guidelines recommend at least 150 min of MVPA in bouts of at least 10 mins
2. GPPAQ-Walk additionally classifies those who walk ≥3 h per week at a “brisk” or “fast” pace as active
