Validation of an instrument for measurement of physical activity in youth

WESTON, ANNE T., PETOSA, RICHARD, PATE, RUSSELL R.·1997·Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise

Abstract

This study assessed the reliability and validity of the Previous Day Physical Activity Recall (PDPAR), a self-report instrument designed to measure physical activity in youth. Subjects were randomly selected students in grades 7-12. Test-retest reliability was reported as the correlation between estimated relative energy expenditures determined from two PDPAR administrations completed within 1 h. Interrater reliability was determined by two observers using the scoring protocol. Validity was assessed using footstrikes (pedometer), Caltrac activity counts, and heart rate monitoring as criterion measures. Interrater and test-retest reliability was 0.99 and 0.98, respectively (P < 0.01). The correlation between relative energy expenditure from the PDPAR (kcal.kg-1.l.d-1) and pedometer and Caltrac counts was 0.88 (P < 0.01) and 0.77 (P < 0.01), respectively. The correlation between percentage heart rate range (HRmax-HR-rest) and mean energy expenditure from the PDPAR was 0.53 (P < 0.01). The correlation between 1-min heart rates > 50% HRR sustained for 20 min and the number of 30-min blocks with a relative energy expenditure of at least four metabolic equivalent tasks (MET) was 0.63 (P < 0.01). The PDPAR provides valid and reliable estimates of physical activity and also accurately identifies bouts of moderate to vigorous activity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
