Abstract

Objective To develop a Physical Activity Afterschool Questionnaire for Preschooler (P-PAQ), and to examine its reliability and validity, so as to provide a reliable and effective measurement tool for assessing Chinese preschooler′s physical activity after school. Methods P-PAQ was developed after reviewing the literature and consulting physical activity experts, also integrating with the characteristic of Chinese preschooler′s physical activity after school. The frequency and duration of children′s physical activity after school with various intensities in the past week (including 5 school days and 2 weekend days) was investigated. Recruitment of children aged 3 to 6 years was conducted utilizing a convenience sampling method in three kindergartens from Beijing, Shenyang and Xi′an from November to December 2020. Totally 225 children′s primary caregivers filled in P-PAQ twice with two-day interval to explore the test-retest reliability. Additional 229 children wore accelerometers (ActiGraph GT9X) for one week, then their primary caregivers filled in P-PAQ. Results The intra-group correlation coefficient(ICC) of test-retest on school days and weekends for the light physical activity, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and total physical activity time ranged from 0.636 to 0.844 (P<0.01). Spearman correlation coefficient between time spent on moderate-to-vigorous activity on schooldays and weekends was 0.153 and 0.151, respectively (P<0.05). Bland-Altman plots showed that P-PAQ and accelerometer had great consistency in measuring preschooler′s physical activity after school. Conclusion P-PAQ has good reliability and validity, which can be used to investigate physical activity behavior of preschool children, and to guide caregivers to improve children′s physical activity level after school in community and family settings.
