BackgroundPhysical activity instruments can be subjective or objective. There is a need to assess the reliability of these instruments, especially for researches in children. The aim of this study was to determine the validity of the Netherlands Physical Activity Questionnaire (NPAQ).MethodsPopulation under study were Brazilian children aged 4 to 11 years old, enrolled in a population-based study. Data collection took place in two distinct moments: 1) application of the NPAQ by face-to-face interviews with mothers' children and 2) utilization of accelerometers by children as the reference method. GT1M Actigraph accelerometer was worn for five consecutive days. Validity analyses were performed by sensitivity and specificity and ROC (Receiver Operator Characteristic) curve.ResultsTwo hundred and thirty nine children participated in both phases of the study. A total of 73.2% children achieved the recommendation of 60 min/day of moderate to vigorous physical activity. The mean and median of the NPAQ score were 25.5 and 26, respectively. The score ranged from 7 to 35 points. The correlation coefficient between the NPAQ and the time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activities was 0.27. Based on the area under the ROC curve, the median value presented the best indicators of sensitivity (59.4%) and specificity (60.9%), and the area under curve was 0.63. The predictive capacity of the NPAQ to identify active children was high regardless the cut-off point chosen. This capacity was even higher if the score was higher than 30.ConclusionsBased on sensitivity and specificity values, the NPAQ did not show satisfactory validity. The comparison of the reliability of the NPAQ with other instruments is limited, but correlation coefficients found in this study are similar to others. Physical activity level of children estimated from the NPAQ must be interpreted cautiously, and objective measures such as accelerometers should be encouraged.

“…This is in line with the findings from a previous study [12] and the hypothesis that agreement will be higher for well-defined behaviors. For nonorganized physical activity, the rather low parent-child agreement observed in the present study is comparable to the agreement reported in previous studies [9,11]. Cases in which children reported more physical activity than their parents did were more frequent than cases in which the parent reported more physical activity.…”

“…Parents, especially mothers, have been shown to overestimate the energy intake of their children [10]. Regarding physical activity or outdoor play, agreement between child and parent reports has been reported to be fair [9,11]. Interestingly, agreement has been shown to be higher for organized than for non-organized physical activity [12].…”

Parent-child agreement in different domains of child behavior and health

et al. 2020

The present study aimed to investigate and compare parent-child agreement in different domains of child health and behavior. Methods Data were collected between 2011 and 2019 within the framework of the LIFE Child study (Germany). Different subgroups of 10-to 12-year-old children and their parents (n (max) = 692) completed questionnaires on several health behaviors (diet, media use, physical activity, sleep), parameters of health (behavioral strengths and difficulties, psychosomatic complaints), and school grades. Agreement between child and parent reports was evaluated using weighted kappa coefficients. Furthermore, the frequencies of different types of (dis) agreement (parent report > child report, same response, child report > parent report) were assessed and checked for associations with child or parent gender.

Introdução. Fatores externos influenciam o processo de aquisições de habilidades motoras em cada idade. Objetivo. Este estudo verificou a influência da atividade física e/ou lúdica direcionada sobre o desenvolvimento motor (DM) de escolares, e se os hábitos de vida diária destes influenciam a aquisição das habilidades motoras. Método. Noventa escolares, entre 8 e 12 anos de idade, foram divididas em grupos A e B, praticantes e não praticantes de atividade física e/ou lúdica direcionada, respectivamente. A coordenação motora foi avaliada pelo teste de KTK e o equilíbrio pela escala de Equilíbrio Pediátrica. Para verificar o nível de atividade física, os pais responderam o questionário PAQ-C, e o questionário de Classificação Econômica Brasil (CCEB) verificou o nível sócio econômico. Resultados. Os resultados indicaram que o grupo A obteve melhor desempenho em relação à coordenação e equilíbrio, são escolares ativos, e permanecem menos tempo assistindo TV. Conclusão. Os hábitos de vida de crianças de 8 a 12 anos, principalmente no que se refere a um estilo de vida ativo, observado pela prática de atividades física direcionada e/ou lúdica pode influenciar o desenvolvimento de habilidades motoras em crianças desta idade.
