Community Health Model Activities Program for Seniors Physical Activity Questionnaire
Key Descriptions
- CHAMPS was developed to evaluate the effect of planned interventions on physical activity of community-dwelling older adults in the United States.
- The questionnaire includes 41 items that explore the frequency and duration of light, moderate, and vigorous physical activities that have been performed weekly over the last 4 weeks.
- Frequency is determined by having participants report if an activity was performed in the past 4 weeks (Y/N) and, if yes, how many times in one week. Participants also rate the hours per week spent doing the activity by selecting from a 6-point scale ranging from less than 1 hour to 9 or more hours.
- Four different scores can be derived from the questionnaire: frequency of moderate or greater activity (MET > 3.0); frequency of all physical activity (light, moderate, and vigorous); caloric expenditure of moderate or greater activity; caloric expenditure of all physical activity. (Stewart et al, 2001).

Participation & ActivitiesConsiderations
Results suggested that several CHAMPS items may be susceptible to over-reporting. (Hekler, 2012)
The results from one study concluded that CHAMPS does not appear to be an appropriate tool to measure physical activity changes in shorter community-based physical activity programs for older adults that prescribe a single multi-component exercise routine. (Godrad, 2007)
Orthopedic Surgery
back to PopulationsStandard Error of Measurement (SEM)
Older adults following total knee arthroplasty: (Almeida, 2016; n= 28; mean age= 69; time post TKA- 3 to 6 months)
- SEM = 12.8- 16.9 for min/day,
- SEM = 46.7- 99.4 for kcal/day
Minimal Detectable Change (MDC)
Older adults following total knee arthroplasty: (Almeida, 2016)
Min/day:
- MDC = 30.1 for light activities,
- MDC = 28.4 for moderate exercise
- MDC = 39.3 for light to moderate activities
Kcal/day
- MDC = 109.0 for light activity
- MDC = 236.0 for moderate activities
- MDC = 231 for light to moderate activities.
Test/Retest Reliability
Patients after total knee arthroplasty (Almeida et al, 2016)
- Excellent test-retest reliability for all activities(ICC=0.86-0.92)
- Excellent test-retest reliability for moderate-intensity physical activity(ICC=0.81-0.88)
- Adequate test-retest reliability for vigorous-intensity physical activity (ICC=0.34-0.45)

(Colbert et al, 2011; n = 56; mean age = 74.7(6.5); older adults)
- Poor correlation with doubly labeled water–measured physical activity energy expenditure (r = 0.28)
(Stahl, and Insana, 2014; n = 10; mean age = 63.8 (3.17); older adults)
- Excellent correlation with accelerometry device (fitbit) (r = 0.61)
Floor/Ceiling Effects
(Feldman et al, 2009)
- Poor 24% of subjects reported caloric expenditure of 0 at baseline, suggesting a possible floor effect when analyzing moderate or greater intensity activities separately.
