Özet:
Physical activity during childhood and adolescence is very beneficial to both physical and mental health. Increasing physical activity is a key element in the treatment of several diseases, including childhood obesity and associated health conditions. The aim of the present study was to investigate cross-cultural adaptation, validity and test-retest reliability of the Turkish version of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A).  One hundred fifty adolescents students between the ages of 14 and 18 year were included in present study. The translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the original questionnaire were performed in accordance with published guidelines. To evaluate reliability, test-retest and internal consistency analyses were used. The results of test-retest analyses were evaluated by using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient method (95 % confidence interval). For internal consistency, Cronbach alpha value was calculated. Validity of the questionnaire was performed in terms of construct validity. For construct validity, convergent validity was tested. To assess the covergent validity of the questionnaire, an objective measurement of PA was assessed using an electronic pedometer. Convergent validity was measured by comparing the total PAQ-A score with other measurement, pedometer performed at the same time by using the Spearman correlation coefficient analyses. Cronbach alpha value was found 0,866, indicating that this questionnaire has high internal consistency. Intraclass Correlation Coefficient values for test–retest reliability were found to be in the range of 0,713 ile 0,995, which shows that test-retest results are highly correlated. Spearman correlation coefficient of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents with pedometer measurements was calculated 0,527. These results showed that Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents is moderate correlated with pedometer measurements. The Turkish version of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents is valid and reliable. For this reason, it may be advisable to use the Physical Activity Questionnaire in Adolescents to measure the physical activity levels of adolescents during school periods.
