Test- retest reliability of IPAQ environmental- module in an African population

Abstract: Background: There is overwhelming evidence of the benefits of physical activity and the physical environment is increasingly recognized as a promising determinant of physical activity participation. The influence of the environment on physical activity has not been evaluated among black Africans and no specific measure exists for assessing environmental factors related to physical activity in an African environment. The IPAQ E-module was designed to assess environmental factors for physical activity participat… Show more

“…The lower-order factors represent specific neighborhood characteristics, whereas the complete set of items may be considered a general measure of a neighborhood’s physical activity-related environment. This is consistent with the intent and design of PANES (Bauman et al, 2009; Oyeyemi, Adegoke, Oyeyemi, & Fatudimu, 2008; Sallis et al, 2010). …”
