|
Objectives: This study is an explorative study for developing an instrument to measure habitual physical activity level of school-aged children.
Methods: HPAQ-S consists of 41 items and a self-reported 5-day recall instrument designed to assess habitual physical activity level for school-aged children. For the validity and reliability test, a sample consisted of 28 children, aged 10-11 years old.
Results: 41 question items showed an acceptable internal consistency (cronbach’s alpha=.89). A significant positive correlation with the pedometer results (r=.69, p<.001) and with Borg’s questionnaire (r=.76, p<.001) support the validity of HPAQ-S.
Conclusion: HPAQ-S may be more useful for measuring habitual physical activity level of elementary school-aged children in large populations.
