Concordância entre os formatos impresso e eletrônico do IPAQ-L

Abstract

RESUMO ABSTRACT Introduction: There is a variety of questionnaires to measure the level of physical activity. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) has been widely used; however, this has not been validated in electronic format yet. Objective: To identify the correlation between the IPAQ long version in print and electronic versions. Methods: Study participants were 218 students at a private university, 109 of each gender (age ≤ 25 and ≥ 26). In the first stage, the participants were given prior information about filling out the form IPAQ-L (printed version); after that they completed the electronic version (WebIpaq). Results: No significant difference was found on comparing the print and electronic versions of the IPAQ-L. The same occurred in relation to the Practice of Habitual Physical Activity (PHAF) for the ratios by chi-square (X²). Excellent reproducibility was verified by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), reaching values higher than in the combined analysis. In the weighted Kappa index agreement was substantial, ranging from 0.62 (95% CI: 0.41 to 0.77, males) to 0.67 (95% CI: 0.53 to 0.81, age ≤ 25 years

Social and Educational Sustainability of the Physical Education of Romanian Students and the Impact on Their Physical Activity Level

“…In opposition, for Chinese students, there was found a low correlation between physical activity (measured by the IPAQ-SF) and physical fitness [29,30]. The IPAQ could be applied both in printed and electronic versions, but no significant differences were found between these two forms [31].…”

Effects of an individualized nutritional intervention on kidney function, body composition, and quality of life in kidney transplant recipients: Study protocol for a randomized clinical trial

“…The average weight gain after the first year of surgery is close to 5-10 kg or 5%-10% of the initial body weight [13,14]. Likewise, the body composition analysis shows a higher percentage of adiposity in relation to lean mass, which is associated with obesity and other factors [15], and may suggest a negative influence on kidney function, especially in the success of the graft [20]. In addition to immunosuppressive therapy, increased appetite, change in lifestyle and reduced dietary restrictions as well as reversal of uremia and limited physical activity contribute to this scenario [13].…”

“…Participants randomized to the intervention group will be subjected to an individualized nutritional intervention prescribed after 60 days of KTx by a professional nutritionist participating in the research through an individualized plan with a two-option substitution rate calculated with the aid of the Virtual Nutri Plus 2.0 software, using nutritional recommendations for the late post-KTx period, according to Table 2 [10,11]. The foods and preparations on the plan will be presented in the form of weights and conventional homemade measures [19,20] that the patients are familiar with in their routines. In order to gain a better understanding of the diet plan, photographic records of portions of food [21] and real-sized food models made of silicone will be used as illustrations for demonstrating the portions suggested in the menu.…”

Use of an Elevated Avenue for Leisure-Time Physical Activity by Adults from São Paulo Downtown, Brazil

“…Leisure-time PA was evaluated by the long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), which was validated in a sample of Brazilian adults for its applicability in electronic form [27] and via e-mail [28], demonstrating good validity, reproducibility and concordance in both studies. This version of the IPAQ was standardized to collect information on engagement in leisure-time PA during the past seven days in minutes per day and number of days per week spent on walking, moderate and vigorous.…”
