Physical activity questionnaires are a recognized method of study of human activity associated with the manifestation of muscular efforts and energy consumption. There are many questionnaires effectively used by specialists to estimate industrial and household, recreational, health and fitness motor activity in different population groups. In the last decade the short and long versions of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) in the form of brochures and telephone interviews are becoming more popular in many countries. Meanwhile, the Russian version of this widely-used questionnaire has not been presented yet. The purpose of the present research was to test the designed Russian long version of IPAQ among Surgut residents. IPAQ was developed to unify the comparative measurements of physical activity in different countries and cultural communities around the world. Using our Russian version of IPAQ the level and structure of everyday physical activity in Russia can be compared with those in other countries under common of methodological conditions. All in all, it can be concluded that our long version IPAQRU provides rather satisfactory differentiation of the indicators of physical activity and energy consumption in sections (physical activity at work, while moving, at home, at leisure, while sitting), as well as by intensity levels (mild, moderate, high). The work is to be continued with a sample with a wide range of professions where physical work is involved.
