Description topics
- Physical activity, 12 years or older
- The Short Questionnaire to Assess Health enhancing physical activity (SQUASH) is part of the Health Interview Survey. This questionnaire was developed by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). The SQUASH aims to provide a complete picture of physical activity, e.g. frequency, duration and intensity of the following types of physical activities: 1 activities during travelling between home and work or home and school 2 activities at school or at work 3 domestic activities 4 sports
5 other leisure activities.
For the years from 2012 onwards, some assumptions in the calculation of the subtopics within physical activity have been adjusted. This is done in consultation with the RIVM in the context of the Public Health Monitor 2012, a study in which physical activity is also required. Consequently, the figures on physical activity from 2012 onwards are not always comparable with the figures of the previous years.- Meet the healthy exercise standard
- Percentage of respondents meeting the Dutch Standard for Healthy Exercise. Respondents are in the age category 12 years or older. Physical activities are categorised in a standard table according to age-specific values indicating the intensity per activity, the minimal duration required and the number of days per week. The Dutch standard for people 12 – 18 years involves at least one hour a day of moderate exercise with MET value 5. The standard for adults is at least 5 days a week 30 minutes of moderate exercise with MET-value =4 (age 18-55 years) or with MET-value = 3 (age 55+). *MET-value: 1 MET equals the energy-consumption of a person in rest. Also 5 MET meets 5 times the consumption of energy of this standard resting metabolic rate.
For the years from 2012 onwards, some assumptions in the calculation of the percentage of people that meet the Dutch Standard for Healthy Exercise have been adjusted. This is done in consultation with the RIVM in the context of the Public Health Monitor 2012, a study in which physical activity is also required. As a result, the percentages from 2012 onwards are not comparable with the rates in previous years.
