Self-report Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire overestimates physical activity.
OBJECTIVES Physical activity (PA) research during pregnancy relies heavily on indirect/subjective measures of PA, which may be less accurate than directly measured PA. We tested whether the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ) could accurately estimate PA by comparing PPAQ results to directly measured PA. METHODS In a sample of 29 women who completed the PPAQ, PA was directly meas...

متن کاملPregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire.
We appreciate the interest of Brett et al. 1 in our Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ). 2 The highest priority in designing a questionnaire for epidemiologic practice is the ability of the questionnaire to rank individuals (i.e., to discriminate among individuals with respect to their physical activity) rather than to estimate their absolute energy expenditure. Therefore, in devel...
متن کاملCalibration of self-report tools for physical activity research: the Physical Activity Questionnaire (PAQ)
BACKGROUND The utility of self-report measures of physical activity (PA) in youth can be greatly enhanced by calibrating self-report output against objectively measured PA data.This study demonstrates the potential of calibrating self-report output against objectively measured physical activity (PA) in youth by using a commonly used self-report tool called the Physical Activity Questionnaire (P...
متن کاملValidity and responsiveness of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) in assessing physical activity during pregnancy
The physiological and biomechanical changes that occur during pregnancy make accurate measurement of physical activity (PA) a challenge during this unique period. The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) has been used extensively in low-to-middle income countries, but has never been validated in a pregnant population. In this longitudinal study, 95 pregnant women (mean age: 29.5±5.7 ye...
