This study provides evidence of construct validity for the Brazilian version of the Godin-Shephard Leisure-Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (GSLTPAQ), a 1-item instrument used among 236 participants referred for cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The Baecke Habitual Physical Activity Questionnaire (Baecke-HPA) was used to evaluate convergent and divergent validity. The self-reported measure of walking (QCAF) evaluated the convergent validity. Cardiorespiratory fitness assessed convergent validity by the Veterans Specific Activity Questionnaire (VSAQ), peak measured (VO2peak) and maximum predicted (VO2pred) oxygen uptake. Partial adjusted correlation coefficients between the GSLTPAQ, Baecke-HPA, QCAF, VO2pred and VSAQ provided evidence for convergent validity; while divergent validity was supported by the absence of correlations between the GSLTPAQ and the Occupational Physical Activity domain (Baecke-HPA). The GSLTPAQ presents level 3 of evidence of construct validity and may be useful to assess leisure-time physical activity among patients with cardiovascular disease and healthy individuals.

Activity Questionnaire

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.

Activity Questionnaire

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of 2 newly developed physical activity questionnaires: the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Questionnaire (PASB-Q) and a newly modified Leisure-Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (mLTPA-Q). These questionnaires were compared with objective measurements of physical activity and fitness (accelerometry and physiological assessments) in 35 adults, before and after a week of daily living activity. Objectively measured moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity (MVPA) was moderately correlated with the PASB-Q’s physical activity vital sign (PAVS) (r = 0.50, p = 0.004) and the mLTPA-Q (r = 0.56, p = 0.001). Bland−Altman plots suggest minimal bias from self-reported to objective measures of MVPA. The ability of PAVS to accurately distinguish who does and does not achieve Canadian physical activity guidelines was 83% and 60%, respectively, compared with 82% and 73% of the mLTPA-Q. Self-reported sedentary time was greatly underestimated in the PASB-Q compared with the objective measure (6.4 ± 3.5 vs 12.2 ± 1.2 h/day). The results of this study suggest the PASB-Q and mLTPA-Q are valid and reliable measures of adult physical activity and provide reasonable indication of those individuals who meet physical activity guidelines. Future questionnaire development should take into account the underestimation of time spent engaging in sedentary activities.
