Background: The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) has been used to measure physical activity (PA) and sedentary time in France, but no study has assessed its psychometric properties. This study aimed to compare the reliability as well as criterion and concurrent validity of the French version of the GPAQ with the French International Physical Activity Questionnaire long form (IPAQ-LF) and use of an accelerometer in a general adult population.
Methods: We included 92 participants (students or staff) from the Medicine Campus at the University of Lorraine, Nancy (north-eastern France).
Article Synopsis
- The review examined self-report questionnaires on sedentary behaviors (SB) to identify what characteristics they measure.
- Most questionnaires focused on time spent, posture, purpose, and types of SB, but less attention was given to social context and environment.
- The findings highlight the need for more comprehensive questionnaires to better capture various aspects of sedentary behavior for future studies.
Background: Many countries publish periodic Report Cards on physical activity for children and youth. This paper presents the results from the first French Report Card providing a systematic synthesis and assessment of the national engagements to facilitate childhood physical activity.
Methods: A search for nationally representative data on 8 indicators of physical activity was conducted and the data were assessed by an expert panel according to international procedures.
