International Physical Activity Questionnaire: Validity against fitness

Article Abstract:

A study aimed to criterion-validate the short format of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) against cardiorespiratory fitness as well as against tests of muscular fitness in young adult males. Almost 10% of young men had poor fitness and apparently low physical activity, but reported very high physical activity by IPAQ, suggesting a need to develop IPAQ further to solve the apparent over-reporting by a considerable proportion of sedentary individuals.

Physical fitness profiles in young Finnish men during the years 1975-2004

Article Abstract:

A population-based study is conducted to describe fitness profiles in aerobic capacity during the years 1975-2004, muscle performance from 1982-2003 and body anthropometry from 1993-2004 among the Finnish conscripts at the age of 20 years. The study findings reveal that physical fitness among young men is decreased and that body mass is increased during the last 15 years in Finland.
