Abstract des Autors

The purpose of this study was to validate the Godin-Shephard physical activity questionnaire in 10, 12 and 13 year-old children. There were 4 boys and 4 girls in each age group. A portable Caltrac calorie counter was used for measuring energy expenditure. The Caltrac counter and questionnaires were used simultaneously on two schooldays (Thursday, Friday) and two weekend days (Saturday, Sunday). The questionnaire method overestimated (P<0.05) the energy expenditure, Caltrac data serving as the reference ones. That overestimation was significantly (P<0.05) higher for weekend- than for schooldays. Verf.-Referat
