| - | The Short questionnaire to Assess Health-enhancing physical activity (SQUASH) is a Dutch questionnaire developed by the [[https://www.rivm.nl/en|Dutch National Institute of Public Health and the Environment]] to give an indication of habitual physical activity level ([[sections|section]]: [[lifestyle & environment]]).\\ | + | The Short questionnaire to Assess Health-enhancing physical activity (SQUASH) is a Dutch questionnaire developed by the [[https://www.rivm.nl/en|Dutch National Institute of Public Health and the Environment]] to give an indication of habitual physical activity levels ([[sections|section]]: [[lifestyle & environment]]).\\ |
| - | The SQUASH was structured to enable the assessment of compliance to physical activity guidelines: [[https://www.gezondheidsraad.nl/documenten/adviezen/2017/08/22/beweegrichtlijnen-2017|the Dutch Healthy Exercise Norm]]. These guidelines are different for children (<18 years), adults (18-55 years), and older adults (>55 years)1 (table 1). | + | The SQUASH was structured to enable the assessment of compliance to physical activity guidelines: [[https://www.gezondheidsraad.nl/documenten/adviezen/2017/08/22/beweegrichtlijnen-2017|the Dutch Healthy Exercise Norm]]. These guidelines are different for children (<18 years), adults (18-55 years), and older adults (>55 years), see table below. \\ |
| - | The SQUASH was implemented in [[start|Lifelines]] [[1A Questionnaire 2]] and [[2A Questionnaire 1]]. The raw data from [[1A]] were used to calculate [[SQUASH sum scores]]. | + | |

| + | ===== SQUASH in Lifelines ===== | ||
| + | [[start|Lifelines]] implemented the SQUASH in [[1A Questionnaire 2]], [[2A Questionnaire 1]] and [[3A Questionnaire 1]]. In [[1B]], [[1C]] and [[3B]], participants were only asked a very general question about their physical activity level.\\ | ||
| + | Note that the full squash was also implemented in additional assessment [[NEXT]]. Two general questions from the SQUASH were asked in the additional questionnaire on [[ACTQ|daily activities (ACTQ)]]. | ||

| + | The results from [[1A]] were used to calculate [[SQUASH sum scores]]. Please follow the link for the calculation protocol and the resulting variables. | ||

| - | Hobbies were not included in the SQUASH. These activities often have very low [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_equivalent_of_task|MET values]] (<2 MET), and were therefore considered to contribute negligibly to habitual activity levels. Hobbies that do have meaningful MET values are often noted as sports.\\ | + | Hobbies other than sports, walking/cycling, and gardening were not included in the SQUASH. These activities often have very low [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_equivalent_of_task|MET values]] (<2 MET), and were therefore considered to contribute negligibly to habitual activity levels.\\ |
| Note that the SQUASH questionnaire was not designed to measure energy expenditure, but to give an indication of the habitual activity level. | Note that the SQUASH questionnaire was not designed to measure energy expenditure, but to give an indication of the habitual activity level. | ||
