The use of questionnaires has generally been considered the most practical method of assessing physical in large population studies. The purpose of this study was to assess the concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of the Godin leisure-time exercise questionnaire. The maximum oxygen intake, percent body fat and muscular endurance were used as concurrent validity criteria. Subjects were 39 community women, the average age was 51.1 (S.D=8.7). The reported total scores of Godin leisure-time questionnaire was significantly associated to VO2max, percent body fat and muscular endurance (r=-0.37~0.58, P< 0.01), the strenuous physical activity was significant association with the V02max and muscular endurance. The moderate physical activity was significantly association with the VO2max. The four week test-retest reliability of total scores and strenuous physical activity was significant. (r=0.85, 0.93, P< 0.01). The analysis of Kruskal-Wallis showed that the fitness category 1 reported more active than the category 2, 3, 4 group, participated in strenuous physical activities. The category 1 was also more higher than the category 3 and group 4 in the scores of total Godin leisure-time questionnaire. It is practical in discriminating the physical activity of different groups. The questionnaire demonstrated adequate reliability and validity in measuring the physical activity of community women. |
