Changes in the IPAQ scores from baseline to 6 months after ablation

Parameters	Before 3–4 weeks	After 6 months	p‐value
Walking MET‐minutes/week	693 (545–2,772)	1,733 (891–3,119)	.260
Moderate MET‐minutes/week	0 (0–630)	840 (0–1,680)	.128
Vigorous MET‐minutes/week	0 (0–0)	0 (0–2,100)	.066
Total physical activity MET‐minutes/week	1,170 (693–3,930)	4,312 (1,865–6,569)	.037

Data are expressed as median (first and third quartiles). Walking MET‐minutes/week = 3.3 × walking minutes × walking days; moderate MET‐minutes/week = 4.0 × moderate‐intensity activity minutes × moderate days; vigorous MET‐minutes/week = 8.0 × vigorous‐intensity activity minutes × vigorous‐intensity days; Total physical activity MET‐minutes/week = sum of walking + moderate +vigorous MET‐minutes/week scores.

Abbreviations: IPAQ, international physical activity questionnaire; METs, metabolic equivalents.
