The International PA Questionnaire (IPAQ) is accessible in public domain which was transformed into a Google form, sent by email to each participant. The participants were compulsorily required to fill their email id and age. This questionnaire was sent to 342 participants of that 106 responded.

Results: About 30% of participants responded to the Google form of questionnaire, of which 78% of the responses were included in the study. About 65.6% of participants did vigorous PA. About 24.9% of participants did moderate PA. About 10.84% of participants did low PA.

Conclusion: It concluded from the survey study that vigorous activity is more prevalent among physical therapist. The mean age of vigorous and moderate PA is lower than the mean age of low PA.
