Leung, Ka Man; Chung, Pak-Kwong; Ransdell, Lynda B.; Gao, Yong – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2016
We examined psychometric properties of a Modified Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (MPAQ-C). Thirty-two parents (Study 1), 40 students (6-9 years) and one of each student's parents (Study 2), and 625 parents (Study 3) completed the MPAQ-C. The MPAQ-C (six items) measured children's physical activity (PA) after school, and during…
