    The overall kappa/weighted kappa coefficient for the 1-wk test-retest reliability of the questionnaire items indicated moderate agreement (mean 0.57 +/- 0.24). Self-reported and accelerometer-measured average daily time spent performing moderate to vigorous physical activity were significantly corre...

    This study assessed the reliability and validity of the Previous Day Physical Activity Recall (PDPAR), a self-report instrument designed to measure physical activity in youth. Subjects were randomly selected students in grades 7-12. Test-retest reliability was reported as the correlation between est...
