Definitions of strengths were defined by the 24 character strengths framework, outlined in the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS), which highlights positive traits of humans.

As researchers continue to develop an understanding of what keeps young people from meeting physical activity recommendations, there is a need to develop efficient and cost-effective measures that can accurately distinguish youth who meet guidelines from those who do not. Therefore, the current study aims to evaluate the utility of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C) in predicting accelerometer-derived estimates of MVPA.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>The final sample included 184 youth between the ages of 8 and 12 years, who completed self-report measures and wore an accelerometer for two weeks.
