Few studies have explicitly quantified the proportion of park-based physical activity to park users' overall physical activity levels. Population studies need new context-specific physical activity measurement tools to achieve this. The objective of this study was to develop a reliable measure of self-reported park use and physical activity undertaken within and outside of parks to determine the contribution that park-based physical activity makes to overall physical activity levels.
A test-retest reliability study (n = 104) was conducted using the Park Physical Activity Questionnaire (Park-PAQ), an instrument based on the Active Australia Survey. Park-PAQ items captured the frequency and duration of walking for recreation or exercise, walking for transport, moderate and vigorous physical activity and strength, conditioning and balance activities done in parks and elsewhere.
Recall of doing any walking for recreation (kappa = 0.649, p < 0.001) and any vigorous physical activity (kappa = 0.772, p < 0.001) was 'substantial', recall of doing any moderate physical activity (kappa = 0.553, p < 0.001) was 'moderate/acceptable', and recall of any walking for transport (kappa = 0.840, p < 0.001) 'near perfect'. Recall of the time spent walking for recreation in parks (ICC = 0.928, p < 0.001) was 'near perfect', whilst recall of time spent doing moderate activity in parks (ICC = 0.925, p < 0.001) and vigorous activity in parks (ICC = 0.962, p < 0.001) was 'near perfect'. Time spent walking for transport in a park (ICC = 0.200, p = 0.056) showed 'poor' agreement. Repeatability of the usual level of park use was 'substantial' (kappa = 0.744).
The Park-PAQ reliably measures six domains of physical activity and quantifies the proportion of physical activity done in parks as a proportion of total physical activity. The Park-PAQ, used alone or embedded into park or physical activity surveys, will reliably capture context-specific activities that will optimise population level physical activity interventions, park programming and park management and design.
很少有研究明确量化了在公园内进行的身体活动在公园使用者整体身体活动水平中所占的比例。人群研究需要新的特定于上下文的身体活动测量工具来实现这一目标。本研究的目的是开发一种可靠的自我报告的公园使用和在公园内外进行的身体活动测量方法，以确定公园内身体活动对整体身体活动水平的贡献。
采用基于澳大利亚积极调查的活动公园问卷（Park-PAQ）进行了一项测试-重测信度研究（n=104）。Park-PAQ 项目记录了为娱乐或锻炼而进行的散步频率和持续时间、步行进行交通、中等强度和剧烈强度的身体活动以及在公园内外进行的力量、调节和平衡活动。
回忆进行任何娱乐性散步（kappa=0.649，p<0.001）和任何剧烈身体活动（kappa=0.772，p<0.001）的比例为“显著”，回忆进行任何中等强度身体活动（kappa=0.553，p<0.001）的比例为“中等/可接受”，回忆进行任何步行进行交通（kappa=0.840，p<0.001）的比例为“近乎完美”。回忆在公园内散步的时间（ICC=0.928，p<0.001）近乎完美，而回忆在公园内进行中等强度活动的时间（ICC=0.925，p<0.001）和剧烈活动的时间（ICC=0.962，p<0.001）近乎完美。在公园内步行进行交通的时间（ICC=0.200，p=0.056）的一致性“较差”。公园使用频率的重复性“显著”（kappa=0.744）。
Park-PAQ 可靠地测量了六个身体活动领域，并量化了在公园内进行的身体活动占总身体活动的比例。Park-PAQ 单独使用或嵌入到公园或身体活动调查中，将可靠地捕捉到特定于上下文的活动，从而优化人群水平的身体活动干预、公园规划和公园管理和设计。
