Revue des questionnaires de mesure de l’activité physique validés chez les enfants et les adolescents

Abstract: Objectives: To review physical activity questionnaires designed for children and/or adolescents and to present their psychometric properties. Topics: In epidemiological studies, questionnaire is the most often used method to measure physical activity. Most of the proposed questionnaires were validated in English. Perspectives: Questionnaires validated in French are essential to fill the lack of such instrument available in France. Conclusion: Best psychometric properties were found for the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C), Previous Day Physical Activity Recall (PDPAR), Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescent (PAQ-A) and Modified Activity Questionnaire for Adolescent (MAQA).
