BACKGROUND/AIM: The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) is one of the most frequently used questionnaires for evaluating moderate to vigorous levels of physical activity in children. However, a Turkish version of the questionnaire was not available. This study aimed to create a Turkish version of the PAQ-C and examine its psychometric characteristics and factor structure.
The study was conducted with 784 primary school students (ages 9–14 years). The PAQ-C was examined for content and construct validity and analyzed in terms of reliability. Content validity was evaluated with the content validity index (CVI), construct validity, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) (n = 388), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) (n = 396). For reliability analysis, Cronbach’s alpha and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated. The factor construct was assessed with corrected item total correlations (CITCs).
The CVI for the PAQ-C was 0.95. EFA revealed a two-factor construct of ‘at school’ and ‘extracurricular’. CFA confirmed the two-factor construct. Factor loadings varied between 0.41 and 0.80. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.77 and ICC was 0.91 for the test-retest for the entire sample. All CITCs were >0.20
The PAQ-C is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used for Turkish children
背景/目的：《儿童体力活动问卷》（PAQ-C）是评估儿童中等到剧烈体力活动水平最常用的问卷之一。然而，该问卷没有土耳其语版本。本研究旨在创建 PAQ-C 的土耳其语版本，并检验其心理测量学特征和因子结构。
该研究共纳入 784 名小学生（年龄 9-14 岁）。对 PAQ-C 进行内容和结构效度检验，并从信度方面进行分析。内容效度采用内容效度指数（CVI）评估，结构效度采用探索性因子分析（EFA）（n=388）和验证性因子分析（CFA）（n=396）进行分析。为了进行可靠性分析，计算了克朗巴赫α系数和组内相关系数（ICC）。使用校正条目总分相关系数（CITCs）评估因子结构。
PAQ-C 的 CVI 为 0.95。EFA 显示出“在学校”和“课外”两个因子结构。CFA 验证了两个因子结构。因子负荷在 0.41 到 0.80 之间变化。整个样本的克朗巴赫α系数为 0.77，ICC 为 0.91。所有 CITCs 均>0.20。
PAQ-C 是一种有效且可靠的工具，可用于土耳其儿童。
