Abstract: CHASAN-TABER, L., M. D. SCHMIDT, D. E. ROBERTS, D. HOSMER, G. MARKENSON, and P. S. FREEDSON. Development and Validation of a Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 36, No. 10, pp. 1750 –1760, 2004. Purpose: The effect of physical activity during pregnancy on maternal and fetal health remains controversial and studies have yet to identify the optimal dose of physical activity associated with favorable pregnancy outcomes. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a pregnancy physical activity questionnaire (PPAQ). Methods: To ascertain the type, duration, and frequency of physical activities performed by pregnant women, three 24-h physical activity recalls were administered to 235 ethnically diverse prenatal care patients at a large tertiary care facility in western Massachusetts. The relative contribution of each activity to between-person variance in energy expenditure was used to establish the list of activities for the PPAQ. The PPAQ is self-administered and asks respondents to report the time spent participating in 32 activities including household/caregiving, occupational, sports/exercise, transportation, and inactivity. To validate the PPAQ, 54 pregnant women completed the PPAQ and then wore a Manufacturing Technology, Inc. actigraph for the following 7 d. At the end of the 7-d period, the PPAQ was repeated. Results: Intraclass correlation coefficients used to measure reproducibility of the PPAQ were 0.78 for total activity, 0.82 for moderate activity, 0.81 for vigorous activity, and ranged from 0.83 for sports/exercise to 0.93 for occupational activity. Spearman correlations between the PPAQ and three published cut points used to classify actigraph data ranged from 0.08 to 0.43 for total activity, 0.25 to 0.34 for vigorous activity, 0.20 to 0.49 for moderate activity, and 0.08 to 0.22 for light-intensity activity. Correlations were higher for sports/exercise and occupational activities as compared to household/caregiving activities. Conclusions: The PPAQ is a reliable instrument and a reasonably accurate measure of a broad range of physical activities during pregnancy.

A comparison of direct versus self-report measures for assessing physical activity in adults: a systematic review
Stephanie A. Prince,Kristi B. Adamo,Kristi B. Adamo,Meghan Hamel,Jill Hardt,Sarah Connor Gorber,Sarah Connor Gorber,Mark S. Tremblay,Mark S. Tremblay +8 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the measurement method may have a significant impact on the observed levels of physical activity, which poses a problem for both reliance on self- report measures and for attempts to correct for self-report – direct measure differences.

A comparison of self-reported and device measured sedentary behaviour in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Stephanie A. Prince,Stephanie A. Prince,Luca Cardilli,Jennifer L. Reed,Travis J. Saunders,Chris Kite,Chris Kite,Kevin Douillette,Karine Fournier,John Buckley +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence from this review suggests that single-item self-report measures generally underestimate sedentary time when compared to device measures, and multi-item questionnaires, EMAs and logs/diaries with a shorter recall period should be encouraged above single item questions and longer recall periods if sedentaryTime is a primary outcome of study.

TL;DR: Although no “perfect” tool for the examination of PA in adults exists, it is suggested that researchers aim to incorporate appropriate objective measures, specific to the behaviours of interests, when examining PA in free-living environments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the validity of the CSA activity monitor as a measure of children's physical activity using energy expenditure (EE) as a criterion measure was evaluated using three 5-min treadmill bouts at 3, 4, and 6 mph.
