Abstract

The study aims to develop and validate the Curriculum-related Physical Activity Recall questionnaire (CUPAR) as a measure of physical activity in adolescents. 83 middle-school students (13.23 ± 0.74 yrs) completed the CUPAR and whore ActiGraph accelerometers for seven consecutive days. Correlations and Bland–Altman plots were to examine the agreement between these two measures. Significant correlations were observed between the CUPAR and ActiGraph accelerometer for 5-day MPA (r = 0.29, p < 0.01), and for both 5-day and 7-day VPA (r = 0.47 and 0.79, ps < 0.01), and MVPA (r = 0.79 and 0.42, ps < 0.01). Plots showed reasonable agreement between the CUPAR and ActiGraph estimates of VPA and MVPA. The agreement between CUPAR and ActiGraph was higher for in-school VPA (r = 0.58, p < 0.01) and MVPA (r = 0.44, p < 0.01) as compared to the out-school VPA (r = 0.22, p < 0.05) and MVPA (r = 0.26, p < 0.05). The CUPAR can reduce respondents’ burden, representing a reliable and efficient measure of physical activity among adolescents, especially for PA occurred during in-school sessions and at vigorous intensity.
