Are the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C) and Adolescents (PAQ-A) valid and reliable tools for estimating physical activity in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease?
The PAQ-C and PAQ-A are valid and reliable tools for estimating general levels of physical activity in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease.
Validity and reliability of the PAQ in children and adolescents with CHD was comparable to or stronger than previous studies in healthy children. Therefore, the PAQ may be used to estimate general levels of physical activity in children and adolescents with CHD.
Voss et al. (2017) studied this question.
