大龄儿童体力活动问卷(PAQ-C)是一种有效的体力活动自我报告测量工具，广泛用于评估儿童(8-14岁)的体力活动。然而，到目前为止，该仪器已经在主要是加拿大白人的样本中得到了验证。本文的目的是确定PAQ-C对非裔美国人、欧洲裔美国人和西班牙裔儿童的心理测量学特性。进行了两项研究，其中独立的样本接受了PAQ-C，以及与体力活动相关的心血管健康、肥胖和心理测量的不同指数。结果表明，PAQ-C的信度和效度因种族而异，可能需要修改。
The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) is a validated self-report measure of physical activity widely used to assess physical activity in children (8-14 years of age). To date, however, the instrument has been validated in largely White Canadian samples. The purpose of the present article is to determine the psychometric properties of the PAQ-C for African American, European American, and Hispanic children. Two studies were conducted in which independent samples were administered the PAQ-C, along with varying indices of cardiovascular fitness, fatness, and psychological measures related to physical activity. Results showed that the reliability and validity of the PAQ-C varied by race and that modifications might be necessary.
