This study aimed to systematically review previous studies on the reliability and concurrent validity of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). A systematic literature search was conducted (n = 26) using the online EBSCOHost databases, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar up to September 2019. A previously developed coding sheet was used to collect the data. The Modified Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies was employed to assess risk of bias and study quality. It was found that GPAQ was primarily revalidated in adult populations in Asian and European countries. The sample size ranged from 43 to 2657 with a wide age range (i.e., 15–79 years old). Different populations yielded inconsistent results concerning the reliability and validity of the GPAQ. Short term (i.e., one- to two-week interval) and long-term (i.e., two- to three-month apart) test–retest reliability was good to very good. The concurrent validity using accelerometers, pedometers, and physical activity (PA) log was poor to fair. The GPAQ data and accelerometer/pedometer/PA log data were not compared using the same measurements in some validation studies. Studies with more rigorous research designs are needed before any conclusions concerning the concurrent validity of GPAQ can be reached.

The goal of this study was to develop a Korean version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (K-GPAQ) and to examine its reliability and validity. The English version of the GPAQ was translated to the Korean language (K-GPAQ) via forward–backward translation. Reliability of the K-GPAQ was evaluated using a one-week interval test–retest method with 115 individuals. Criterion-related validity of the K-GPAQ was examined with 199 participants using accelerometers. Cohen’s kappa and Spearman’s correlation coefficients were used to measure test–retest reliability and validity, respectively. A Bland–Altman analysis was used to assess agreement between physical activity (PA) levels measured via K-GPAQ and the accelerometer. Coefficients for the reliability of the K-GPAQ showed moderate agreement for recreational PA and slight agreement for work-related PA (Cohen’s kappa: 0.60–0.67 for recreational PA and 0.30–0.38 for work-related PA and Spearman’s rho: 0.27–0.47 for work-related PA and 0.53–0.70 for recreational PA). Criterion validity of the total amount of PA, as measured by the K-GPAQ and the accelerometer, showed a weak but significant correlation ( r = 0.34, p < 0.01). The K-GPAQ is a reliable and valid questionnaire to measure PA although K-GPAQ overestimated PA levels.

Abstract: Background. Obesity has become a worldwide problem. Obesity is caused by energy intake that is greater than energy expenditure. Physical activity is one of energy expenditure. Measuring waist circumference is a method that frequently done to determine obesity. Physical activity can reduce waist circumference regarding decreased body fat percentage especially in visceral fat. Objective. This research was aimed to know the relationship between physical activity and waist circumference in central obese students. Method. An observational method with cross sectional design research was done in November and December 2012 in Saint Ignatius Catholic High School Malalayang Manado. Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) is used in measuring physical activity. Waist circumference was measured with OneMed tape. The analysis used Spearman correlation test. Result. The waist circumferences of 61 respondents were in central obesity. The lowest value of Metabolic Energy Turnover (MET) was 900 MET-minutes/week and the highest was 2,900 MET-minutes/week. In 10 men respondents, the smallest waist circumference was 90.2 cm and the biggest was 110.5 cm. In 51 women respondents, the smallest waist circumference was 80.3 cm and the biggest was 99.0 cm. Conclusion. There was no significant relationship between physical activity and waist circumference (p=0,077). Keyword: physical activity, waist cifcumference, obesity, central obese.   Abstrak: Latar Belakang. Obesitas menjadi masalah di seluruh dunia. Obesitas disebabkan karena masukan energi melebihi penggunaan energi. Aktivitas fisik ialah salah satu penggunaan energi. Cara yang sering digunakan untuk menentukan obesitas yaitu dengan mengukur lingkar pinggang. Aktivitas fisik mampu menurunkan ukuran lingkar pinggang karena berkaitan dengan penurunan persentase lemak tubuh terutama lemak viseral. Tujuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dengan lingkar pinggang pada siswa obes sentral. Metode. Penelitian observasional dengan desain cross sectional dilaksanakan pada Bulan November sampai Desember 2012 di SMA Katolik Santo Ignatius Malalayang Manado. Pengukuran aktivitas fisik menggunakan kuesioner Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). Lingkar pinggang diukur dengan pita ukur OneMed. Analisis menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman. Hasil. Sebanyak 61 responden mempunyai lingkar pinggang dengan obes sentral. Nilai Metabolic Energy Turnover (MET) terendah ialah 900 MET-menit/minggu dan tertinggi ialah 2.900 MET-menit/minggu. Pada 10 responden laki-laki, lingkar pinggang paling kecil yaitu 90,2 cm dan paling besar 110,5 cm. Pada 51 responden perempuan, lingkar pinggang paling kecil ialah 80,3 cm dan paling besar ialah 99,0 cm. Simpulan. Tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara aktivitas fisik dengan lingkar pinggang (p=0,077). Kata kunci: aktivitas fisik, lingkar pinggang, obesitas, obes sentral.

Latar Belakang: Hipertensi adalah peningkatan tekanan dalam darah melebih batas normal yaitu 120/80 mmHg. Faktor risiko hipertensi yaitu faktor yang tidak dapat diubah seperti keturunan, usia, dan jenis kelamin, sedangkan faktor yang dapat diubah adalah pola makan dan aktivitas fisik. Tujuan: Mengetahui Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT), aktivitas fisik, pola makan, Lingkar Pinggang Panggul (PiPa) terhadap tekanan darah (TD) di Puskesmas Sidorejo Lor, Kelurahan Salatiga. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan rancangan cross‐sectional pada 103 responden yaitu 32 orang laki-laki dan 71 orang perempuan. Kriteria responden usia >40 tahun, terdaftar pasien rawat jalan di Puskesmas Sidorejo Lor dengan diagnosis hipertensi. Instrumen penelitian berupa form data profil responden, alat ukur antropometri, pengukur tekanan darah, Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) dan Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQFFQ). Analisis data menggunakan uji Pearson Correlation. Hasil: Terdapat hubungan antara TD sistolik dengan IMT (p=0,002; r=0,346) dan TD diastolik dengan IMT (p=0,004; r=0,313) pada wanita. Namun, tidak ada hubungan antara TD sistolik dengan aktivitas fisik (p=0,065) dan TD diastolik dengan aktivitas fisik (p=0,089). Hasil uji korelasi pada laki-laki menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara TD diastolik dengan IMT (p=0,047; r=-0,302). Namun, tidak ada hubungan antara TD sistolik dengan IMT (p=0,082), TD sistolik dengan aktivitas fisik (p=0,430), dan TD diastolik dengan aktivitas fisik (p=0,328). Kesimpulan: Ada hubungan antara tekanan darah diastolik dengan IMT, dan tidak terdapat hubungan tekanan darah dan aktivitas fisik.

Background:The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) was developed as an improvement of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) for use in cross-cultural settings. This study compared the reliability and validity of GPAQ and IPAQ in Vietnam.Methods:251 adults were randomly selected from a population-based survey (n = 1978) of noncommunicable disease risk factors. GPAQ and IPAQ were administered on 2 occasions. Participants wore pedometers and logged their physical activity (PA) for 7 consecutive days.Results:Test-retest correlations of GPAQ measurements differed for participants (n = 153) with stable work patterns (work PA r = .43, total PA r = .39) and those (n = 98) with unstable work patterns (work PA r = −0.02, total PA r = −0.05). IPAQ measurements did not differ in this way. GPAQ reliability was poorer for transport (GPAQ r = .25, IPAQ r = .60) and for leisure (GPAQ r = .21, IPAQ r = .45) PA. GPAQ estimates of total PA for participants with stable work patterns were moderately correlated with IPAQ total PA (r = .32), steps per day (r = .39), and PA log (r = .31).Conclusions:The modifications made when designing GPAQ improved its reliability for persons with stable work patterns, but at the expense of poorer reliability for persons with more variable PA. GPAQ did not have superior validity to IPAQ.

Abstract Background Valid instruments for measuring physical activity at the low end of the physical activity range and producing quantitative results are required among dialysis patients who are extremely inactive. This study aimed to translate and adapt a Chinese version of the low physical activity questionnaire (LoPAQ) and to examine its reliability and validity among hemodialysis patients. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. The LoPAQ was translated into Chinese and culturally adapted following the standardized questionnaire adaptation process. Participants wore an ActiGraph for seven consecutive days and were asked to complete the Chinese version of the LoPAQ (C-LoPAQ) following the ActiGraph monitoring period. The criterion validity of the C-LoPAQ was examined with accelerometers using Spearman’s correlation coefficients. Bland-Altman plots were adopted to determine the absolute agreement between methods. The test-retest reliability was analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results Eighty-five hemodialysis patients had valid accelerometers and C-LoPAQ data. The total walking time reported on LoPAQ was correlated with step counts by ActiGraph (rho = 0.47, p < 0.01). A moderate correlation was also observed between the C-LoPAQ and the ActiGraph-measured physical activity for total calories (rho = 0.44, p < 0.01). There was a fair correlation between ActiGraph-measured sedentary time and C-LoPAQ-measured inactive time (rho = 0.22, p < 0.05). The test-retest reliability coefficients of C-LoPAQ ranged from 0.30 to 0.66. Conclusions The C-LoPAQ demonstrated moderate validity for measuring low levels of physical activity, especially walking, and total kilocalories of physical activity among hemodialysis patients in China.

Latar Belakang: Penelitian sebelumnya telah menemukan hubungan antara ukuran tinggi badan pendek dengan tingkat pendidikan dan produktivitas manusia di masa depan. Beberapa penelitian telah menemukan bahwa aktivitas fisik berkorelasi dengan optimalisasi pertumbuhan massa mineral tulang yang dicapai pada awal usia 20 tahun, selanjutnya akan mempengaruhi pertumbuhan tinggi badan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membuktikan hipotesis tentang hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dengan tinggi pada remaja usia lanjut. Metode: Desain penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif korelasional dengan pendekatan Cross Sectional. Populasi sampel yang digunakan adalah mahasiswa kedokteran tahun pertama dan kedua Universitas YARSI yang berusia ? 20 tahun. Penentuan intensitas aktivitas fisik harian menggunakan kuesioner dan Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). Tinggi diperoleh dengan pengukuran tinggi badan responden secara langsung dan dikategorikan ke dalam tiga kelompok berdasarkan kurva CDC 2000. Data dianalisis dengan uji statistik Pearson Chi Square. Hasil: Analisis bivariat menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan antara aktivitas fisik pada remaja dengan tinggi badan dengan nilai P (P = 0,992 5%), tetapi ditemukan hubungan antara aktivitas fisik selama periode prapubertas dengan tinggi badan dengan nilai P (P = 0,045 5%). Simpulan: Aktivitas fisik yang dilakukan selama masa remaja tidak memiliki hubungan dengan tinggi badan, tetapi aktivitas fisik yang dilakukan selama periode prapubertas memiliki hubungan terhadap tinggi badan.
