Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PARQ) clearance has been recommended prior to low-to-moderate exercise involvement. The measure, however, appears to exclude a high proportion of older adults due to false positive responses. To improve this situation, a revised PARQ was developed (rPARQ). The purpose of this study was to compare the number exclusions resulting from the PARQ and rPARQ in 60- to 69-yr-old adults. Participants were recruited from Community Nutrition Centers (97 males, 96 females; mean age = 64.82 yr, SD +/- 2.85). At random, half completed the PARQ or rPARQ on day 1 and the respective opposite instrument on day 2. There was a significant decrease in the number of exclusions resulting from the PARQ as compared to the rPARQ (146 to 128, P < 0.001). Percentage of agreement regarding exclusion/inclusion status between the two measures was 87.6% (kappa = 0.71). Responses for the six matched questions were significantly (P < 0.0001) related with contingency and phi coefficients ranging from 0.40 to 0.58 and 0.43 to 0.71, respectively. These results support the concurrent validity of the rPARQ and suggest the revisions have had their intended effect.
建议在参与低强度至中等强度运动之前进行体力活动准备情况问卷（PARQ）筛查。然而，由于存在假阳性反应，该测量方法似乎排除了很大一部分老年人。为改善这种情况，开发了修订版PARQ（rPARQ）。本研究的目的是比较PARQ和rPARQ在60至69岁成年人中导致的排除人数。参与者从社区营养中心招募（97名男性，96名女性；平均年龄 = 64.82岁，标准差±2.85）。随机抽取一半参与者在第1天完成PARQ或rPARQ，在第2天完成相应的另一问卷。与rPARQ相比，PARQ导致的排除人数显著减少（从146人降至128人，P < 0.001）。两种测量方法在排除/纳入状态方面的一致率为87.6%（kappa = 0.71）。六个匹配问题的回答与列联系数和phi系数显著相关（P < 0.0001）分别为0.40至0.58和0.43至0.71。这些结果支持rPARQ的同时效度，并表明修订已达到预期效果。
