To systematically evaluate the reliability and concurrent validity of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) across diverse populations.
Systematically reviewed 26 validation studies identified via EBSCOHost, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar up to September 2019.
Assessed risk of bias and methodological quality using the Modified Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies across sample sizes ranging from N=43 to N=2657 (ages 15–79 years).
Test-retest reliability of the GPAQ was good to very good across both short-term (1- to 2-week) and long-term (2- to 3-month) evaluation intervals.
Concurrent validity against objective criteria—including accelerometers, pedometers, and physical activity logs—was poor to fair.
Reliability and validity outcomes varied across populations, with frequent discrepancies in measurement units between GPAQ metrics and objective monitoring devices.

Implication

Systematic review reveals good test-retest reliability but poor-to-fair concurrent validity for the GPAQ in adults, highlighting the need for more rigorous validation against objective measures.
