建议在进行低至中度运动之前进行身体活动准备问卷（PARQ）检查。然而，由于假阳性反应，该措施似乎排除了很高比例的老年人。为了改善这种情况，制定了订正的PARQ（rPARQ）。本研究的目的是比较60至69岁成人中PARQ和rPARQ的排除数量。参与者从社区营养中心招募（97名男性，96名女性;平均年龄= 64.82岁，SD +/- 2.85）。随机，一半人在第1天完成PARQ或rPARQ，在第2天完成相应的相反工具。与rPARQ相比，PARQ导致的排除数量显著减少（146至128，P < 0.001）。两项指标之间关于排除/纳入状态的一致性百分比为87.6%（kappa = 0.71）。6个匹配问题的回答与列联系数和phi系数显著相关（P < 0.0001），范围分别为0.40 - 0.58和0.43 - 0.71。这些结果支持rPARQ的同时有效性，并表明修订达到了预期效果。
Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PARQ) clearance has been recommended prior to low-to-moderate exercise involvement. The measure, however, appears to exclude a high proportion of older adults due to false positive responses. To improve this situation, a revised PARQ was developed (rPARQ). The purpose of this study was to compare the number of exclusions resulting from the PARQ and rPARQ in 60- to 69-yr-old adults. Participants were recruited from Community Nutrition Centers (97 males, 96 females; mean age = 64.82 yr, SD +/- 2.85). At random, half completed the PARQ or rPARQ on day 1 and the respective opposite instrument on day 2. There was a significant decrease in the number of exclusions resulting from the PARQ as compared to the rPARQ (146 to 128, P < 0.001). Percentage of agreement regarding exclusion/inclusion status between the two measures was 87.6% (kappa = 0.71). Responses for the six matched questions were significantly (P < 0.0001) related with contingency and phi coefficients ranging from 0.40 to 0.58 and 0.43 to 0.71, respectively. These results support the concurrent validity of the rPARQ and suggest the revisions have had their intended effect.
