- Intake 24 – Food intake questionnaire (Please try and complete 3 entries before your second visit).
Since we are measuring energy expenditure between your 2 visits using various methods, it is important to capture information on energy intake. Intake 24 is a web-based 24hour dietary recall questionnaire.
This is an 8-min step test which was recently used in the Health Survey for England as a measure of fitness. We are testing the feasibility of whether it is possible for people to perform this short fitness test in their own homes.
We are testing the feasibility of using smartphone “apps” to collect data on physical activity. If you would like to try using one, these are some instructions on how to get started.
