Literal question
Now think about activities which take moderate physical effort that you did in the last 7 days. Moderate physical activities make you breathe somewhat harder than normal and may include carrying light loads, bicycling at a regular pace, or doubles tennis. Do not include walking. Again, think about only those physical activities that you did for at least 10 minutes at a time.
During the last 7 days, on how many days did you do moderate physical activities?

Interviewer instructions
The respondent should think of activities undertaken in the past 7 days – that is the 7 days preceding the interview. Culturally relevant examples of moderate-intensity activities undertaken in the different domains (e.g., heavy yard work, sports, work) should be substituted. Examples should represent different kinds of physical activities considered most typical for a country and that represents an intensity of between 3 – 6 METs [see Appendix D/4 and Compendium of physical activities: an update of activity codes and MET intensities. Ainsworth AE. et al., Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise 2000; 32(9 Suppl):S498-S504. Each country will update Appendix A4.4 adding the examples of vigorous physical activities specific for the country.
