Implication

Randomized trial assesses reliability and validity of Turkish IPAQ in university students, indicating its effectiveness for measuring physical activity.

Key Points

To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).
1,097 university students volunteered, including 721 women and 376 men aged 18-32.
Test-retest reliability was evaluated using short and long forms of the IPAQ.
Caltrac accelerometer data were compared with IPAQ scores in 80 participants.
The IPAQ short and long forms showed good agreement and comparable test-retest reliabilities.
Caltrac accelerometer data indicated good agreement with IPAQ scores in assessing physical activity levels.
The Turkish versions of IPAQ are reliable and valid for measuring physical activity.
