Abstract Background Physical inactivity is a global phenomenon in European welfare countries. Proper monitoring is essential to measure the physical activity level of the population. Methods In the Hungarian cohort of the European Physical Activity and Sport Monitoring System (EUPASMOS) project, our participants (N = 598) completed sociodemographic questions and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – short form (IPAQ-SF) survey. The validity and reliability of the subjective measurement tool were examined, IPAQ-SF outcomes were contrasted against triaxial RM42 accelerometer wore for 7 consecutive days. Results The IPAQ-SF showed moderate internal consistency (Cronbach Alpha = 0.647). The concurrent validity of the IPAQ-SF to triaxial accelerometer indicated a significant weak-to-moderate correlation (R = 0.111–0.338, p = 0.042; p < 0.001). The test-retest reliability showed a significant correlation between two measurements (R = 0.788–0.981, p < 0.001). Conclusion The Hungarian version of the IPAQ-SF had excellent test-retest reliability, but low-to-fair concurrent validity for moderate and vigorous physical activity, walking and sitting time, as compared to the objective criterion measure among Hungarian adults.

Background:Little information exists regarding the psychometric properties of question 8 (Q8) of the Paffenbarger Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ) to assess exercise. Thus, we conducted 2 studies to assess the validity and test–retest reliability of Q8 among adults.Methods:Study 1 participants (n = 419) were 44.1 ± 16.1 years of age. Validity was determined by comparing self-reported hr·d−1 in sedentary, light, moderate, and vigorous intensity physical activity (PA) and MET-hr·wk−1 on Q8 at baseline to accelerometer and health/fitness measurements using Spearman rank-order correlations. Study 2 participants (n = 217) were 44.7 ± 16.3 years of age and completed Q8 at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Test–retest reliability was determined using repeated measures analysis of covariance, intraclass correlations (ICCs), and standard error of the measurement (SEM).Results:Q8 displayed good criterion validity compared with accelerometer measurements (r = .102 to .200, P < .05) and predictive validity compared with health/fitness measurements (r = –.272 to .203, P < .05). No differences were observed in self-reported hr·d−1 in any of the PA categories at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months (ICC: 0.49 to 0.68; SEM: 1.0 to 2.0; P > .05), indicating good reliability.Conclusion:Q8 demonstrates adequate criterion validity, acceptable predictive validity, and satisfactory test–retest reliability and can be used in conjunction with other components of the PPAQ to provide a complete representation of exercise.

Background: Programs that promote regular physical activity (PA) require reliable PA measurements methods to establish their effectiveness. Objective: To determine the test-retest reliability of digital and print format of International Physical Activity Questionnaire and to establish the reliability between both presentation formats. Methods: The digital and print format questionnaires were self-administered twice to a sample of 76 college students (20.6 ± 2.8 years), 4-7 days later they completed the formats again. Test-retest and between formats reliability was analyzed by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and weighted Kappa index (wK). Agreement between measurements was established by Bland-Altman method (B&A). Results: Test-retest reliability with ICC was excellent for both formats (digital: 0.77, print: 0.82) and acceptable by wK (digital: 0.61, print: 0.71). Agreement between measurements for both formats was low for PA vigorous and moderate categories. Between formats, reliability was excellent for first and second measurement. Conclusions: Although ICC confirmed excellent test-retest reliability, B&A showed a low level of agreement between measurements. Between formats reliability was excellent, and both formats provide similar information.

Existem diferenças metodológicas na literatura acerca da medida de atividade física referente à fragilidade. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar relações entre fragilidade e medidas de atividade física. O estudo teve uma amostra probabilística de 689 idosos (72,28 ± 5,40 anos; 68,21% mulheres). Foi utilizada versão adaptada do Minnesota Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire e estabelecidos dois critérios para as medidas de atividade física: prática regular de exercícios físicos e taxa semanal de gasto calórico em exercícios físicos e em atividades domésticas. Quanto à pontuação, 15,09% dos idosos pontuaram em perda de peso; 17,13%, em fadiga; 16,96%, em baixa força de preensão; 15,87%, em lentidão de marcha; 43,02%, em comorbidades. A frequência de ativos pelo critério de gasto calórico foi de 83,55%; por prática de exercícios físicos, 45,27%. Houve associações entre baixo nível de gasto calórico e baixa força de preensão, lentidão de marcha e idade avançada; entre sedentarismo quanto à prática de exercícios físicos e comorbidades. A medida conforme gasto calórico foi mais sensível aos indicadores de fragilidade, e a medida conforme prática de exercícios físicos, ao estado de saúde.

This review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42020138845) critically evaluates test-retest reliability, concurrent validity and criterion validity of different physical activity (PA) levels of three most commonly used international PA questionnaires (PAQs) in official language versions of European Union (EU): International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF), Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and European Health Interview Survey-Physical Activity Questionnaire (EHIS-PAQ). In total, 1749 abstracts were screened, 287 full-text articles were identified as relevant to the study objectives, and 20 studies were included. The studies’ results and quality were evaluated using the Quality Assessment of Physical Activity Questionnaires checklist. Results indicate that only ten EU countries validated official language versions of selected PAQs. A meta-analysis revealed that assessment of moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) is the most relevant PA level outcome, since no publication bias in any of measurement properties was detected while test-retest reliability was moderately high (rw = 0.74), moderate for the criterion (rw = 0.41) and moderately-high for concurrent validity (rw = 0.72). Reporting of methods and results of the studies was poor, with an overall moderate risk of bias with a total score of 0.43. In conclusion, where only self-reporting of PA is feasible, assessment of MVPA with selected PAQs in EU adult populations is recommended.
