Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examines the convergent validity of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C) for assessing moderate-to-vigorous and total physical activity (PA) in school children. 430 participants (51.6% girls) aged 9–12 years provided valid accelerometer data (wGT3X-BT) and completed the PAQ-C. Convergent validity was assessed using Pearson correlations (r) and Bland-Altman plots. The PAQ-C total score was similarly associated with moderate-to-vigorous PA and total PA (r = .28 and .26, p < .001, respectively). 10- and 11-year-old groups were the only in which the PAQ-C was significantly associated with both accelerometer variables (p < .001). Girls showed higher associations (r = .31 for each, p < .001) than boys (r = .18 and .15 for moderate-to-vigorous PA and total PA, respectively, p < .05). Acceptable measurement bias for all age groups (range, 3.6–7%) was found. Researchers should be cautious when using the PAQ-C to assess moderate-to-vigorous PA in school children.

儿童体育活动问卷（PAQ-C）的收敛有效性：评估中等至剧烈或全部体育活动？

摘要本研究检验了儿童体育活动问卷（PAQ-C）在评估在校儿童中等至剧烈和全面体育活动（PA）方面的收敛有效性。430名9-12岁的参与者（51.6%的女孩）提供了有效的加速度计数据（wGT3X BT），并完成了PAQ-C。使用Pearson相关性（r）和Bland-Altman图评估收敛有效性。PAQ-C总分与中度至重度PA和总PA相似（r分别为.28和.26，p＜0.001）。10岁和11岁组是唯一一个PAQ-C与两个加速度计变量显著相关的组（p＜0.001）。女孩表现出比男孩更高的相关性（各r=.31，p＜.001）（中度至重度PA和总PA分别r=.18和.15，p＜0.05）。所有年龄组的测量偏差都是可接受的（范围，3.6-7%）。研究人员在使用PAQ-C评估学龄儿童中度至重度PA时应谨慎。

期刊介绍： The scope of Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (MPEES) covers original measurement research, special issues, and tutorials within six substantive disciplines of physical education and exercise science. Six of the seven sections of MPEES define the substantive disciplines within the purview of the original research to be published in the journal: Exercise Science, Physical Activity, Physical Education Pedagogy, Psychology, Research Methodology and Statistics, and Sport Management and Administration. The seventh section of MPEES, Tutorial and Teacher’s Toolbox, serves to provide an outlet for review and/or didactic manuscripts to be published in the journal. Special issues provide an avenue for a coherent set of manuscripts (e.g., four to five) to collectively focus in-depth on an important and timely measurement-related issue within the scope of MPEES. The primary aim of MPEES is to publish high-impact manuscripts, most of which will focus on original research, that fit within the scope of the journal.
