چکیده
The authors used International Physical Activity Questionnaire‐Short Form‐A (IPAQ‐SF) to assess physical activity and calculate metabolic equivalent for participants belonging to the age group 10–15 years. However, the IPAQ Guidelines for data processing and analysis clearly indicate that the instrument should be used for ages ranging from 15 to 59 years and that “until further development and testing is undertaken, the use of IPAQ for older and younger age groups is not recommended.”[2]
