한국청소년 신체활동 설문지 (KYPAQ)의 타당도

초록

Investigating the level of physical activity is required to provide fundamental information to establish the Health plan as well as Health policy in future. Physical activity questionnaire has been widely used to evaluate habitual activity for large adult population. However, physical activity questionnaire for Korean adolescent, which proves its validity and reliability has not been developed. Therefore, to develop a valid and reliable physical activity questionnaire for Korean youth, this study developed Korean Youth Physical Activity Questionnaire (KYPAQ) and examined its criterion validity and test-retest reliability. Actical (accelerometer) was applied for one week and KYPAQ was surveyed to 108 middle or high school students (age Mean±SD 14.8±1.3). Spearman's correlation and Kappa statistics were conducted to see the criterion validity and reliability, respectively. The average Spearman's rho for validity was 0.32 and 0.4 for reliability. Kappa statistics provide fair reliability, which indicated its overall fair validity and reliability. Therefore, the validity and reliability of KYPAQ were confirmed.
