Activity Questionnaire

The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) is a validated self-report measure of physical activity widely used to assess physical activity in children (8-14 years of age). To date, however, the instrument has been validated in largely White Canadian samples. The purpose of the present article is to determine the psychometric properties of the PAQ-C for African American, European American, and Hispanic children. Two studies were conducted in which independent samples were administered the PAQ-C, along with varying indices of cardiovascular fitness, fatness, and psychological measures related to physical activity. Results showed that the reliability and validity of the PAQ-C varied by race and that modifications might be necessary.

Background:To accommodate the need for longitudinal physical activity research, we developed the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adults (PAQ-AD). The PAQ-AD is an adult version of the PAQ-C and PAQ-A questionnaires which were developed for older children and adolescents, respectively.Methods:Two studies assessed the convergent validity of the PAQ-AD using a series of self-report tools and direct measurement of physical activity.Results:In the first sample (N = 247), the PAQ-AD was significantly related to a series of self-report tools (r = 0.53 to 0.64). In the second sample (N = 184), the PAQ-AD was significantly related to the self-report tools (r = 0.56 to 0.63), a physical activity recall interview (r = 0.24), and to direct measurements of physical activity (r = 0.26 to 0.43).Conclusion:These results provide preliminary validity evidence for the PAQ-AD and suggest the PAQ “family” of questionnaires might be advantageous for longitudinal research assessing physical activity from childhood to adulthood.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) in Japanese children aged 9 to 12 years. Methods: A total of 210 children aged between 9 and 12 years participated. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were evaluated using Cronbach alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), respectively. Validity was evaluated using athletic competence (AC), self-efficacy (SE), body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (%BF), cardiovascular fitness (CVF), and World Health Organization Health Behavior in School-aged Children (WHO HBSC) physical activity questionnaire. Results: Internal consistency was acceptable (alpha = 0.80) and test-retest reliability showed excellent agreement (ICC = 0.83). The PAQ-C score was significantly correlated with AC ( r = 0.41), SE ( r = 0.65), %BF ( r = 0.19), and CVF ( r = −0.32). The PAQ-C score of the active group classified by the WHO HBSC physical activity questionnaire (mean score ± standard deviation [SD] = 3.03 ± 0.57) was significantly higher than that of the inactive group (mean score ± SD = 2.27 ± 0.63, P < .01). Conclusions: The PAQ-C had acceptable reliability and validity. The PAQ-C is a useful instrument to evaluate physical activity for Japanese children aged 9 to 12 years.

O objetivo foi apresentar tendências temporais de atividade física e fatores associados em trabalhadores de Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) da Região Sul do Brasil entre 2006 e 2011. Pesquisa transversal, parte do estudo Avaliação dos CAPS da Região Sul do Brasil/CAPSUL. Foram coletadas variáveis de saúde física, saúde mental por meio do Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20) e atividade física usando-se o International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Participaram 435 trabalhadores de CAPS em 2006 e 546 trabalhadores em 2011. As prevalências totais de atividade física (≥ 150 minutos semanais) foram 23,2% em 2006 e 17,6% em 2011, e de distúrbios psiquiátricos menores 11% e 8,4%. Não houve diferença na atividade física de homens e mulheres. Em 2006, sujeitos com menor escolaridade (p = 0,03) e menor renda (p = 0,01) apresentaram maior nível de atividade física. Em 2011, trabalhadores de CAPS localizados em municípios de grande porte apresentaram maior nível de atividade física (p = 0,02). São necessárias intervenções promotoras de atividade física nessa população, principalmente em trabalhadores de CAPS residentes em municípios de pequeno porte.

La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) indica, en el informe del año 2016, que el 81% de los niños y adolescentes no alcanzan los niveles de actividad física recomendados y que los niveles de sedentarismo han aumentado. El propósito de este artículo fue diseñar el Cuestionario Pictórico de Actividad Física Infantil (C-PAFI) y obtener sus propiedades psicométricas. Las propiedades psicométricas se obtuvieron aplicando el C-PAFI a un total de 742 estudiantes con edades entre los 9 y 13 años. Se obtuvo una confiabilidad moderada, por medio del alfa de Cronbach (α = .637). La validez de contenido se obtuvo por medio de la validez lógica, utilizando el juicio de expertos (CVR = 0.99). La validez de constructo se obtuvo por medio del análisis de factores, los resultados indican que el cuestionario presenta un factor que explica un 70% de la varianza total. La validez de criterio se obtuvo al comparar el C-PAFI con valores obtenidos de la aplicación del “Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C)”. Se encontró una validez moderada por medio del coeficiente correlación intraclase entre los valores del PAQ-C y el C-PAFI (CCI = .741). El C-PAFI es un cuestionario confiable y válido para establecer el nivel de actividad física en la población infantil de 9 a 13 años de edad, que se encuentra en el sistema educativo y cuenta con recreos y clases de educación física.
