Validity and reliability of the Fels physical activity questionnaire for children
Article Abstract:
The validity and reliability of the Fels physical activity questionnaire (PAQ) for children between 7 to 19 years of age is evaluated. The results moderately support the reliability of the Fels PAQ for all age groups of children and the validity of the Fels PAQ for children is acceptable for elementary and high school students when the total activity score or the sport index is used.
