Family socialization, gender, and sport motivation and involvement. (2005, background): “Several scholars have questioned the validity of self-report measures of physical activity, especially for children (see Sallis & Saelens, 2000).”
Physical activity levels and patterns of 9- and 15-yr-old European children. (2004, background): “However, they refer to more vigorous activity that children are known to overestimate (20).”
An assessment of self-reported physical activity instruments in young people for population surveillance: Project ALPHA (2011, unknown): “There are many good sources of discussion concerning issues in self-reported assessment of physical activity, in both youth and adults (e.g., [6-10]).”
International physical activity questionnaire: 12-country reliability and validity. (2003, background): “For comparison purposes, a recent review (14) summarized reliability and criterion validity results for seven self-report physical activity measures evaluated in adults.”
Validation and Calibration of an Accelerometer in Preschool Children (2006, background): “It is well known that young children are unable to self-report their physical activity accurately (13,14), and surrogate reports by parents and other adults have limited validity (15).”
A Morning Stroll (2007, methodology): “The current study was designed to compare levels of physical activity between automobile and public transit commuters using pedometers rather than relying solely on self-report measures of activity levels (Sallis & Saelens, 2000).”
Assessment of factors affecting the validity of self-reported health-risk behavior among adolescents: evidence from the scientific literature. (2003, background): “Sallis and Saelens [78] de scribe this as “relative validity” as opposed to “ab solute validity.”
A physical activity screening measure for use with adolescents in primary care. (2001, background): “50.(15) Correlations provide an indication of relative validity.”
Relationships among perceived motivational climate, motivational regulations, enjoyment, and PA participation among Finnish physical education students (2017, background): “For example, Sallis and Saelens (2000) Footnote 1 According to SDT extrinsic motivation includes also a fourth regulation, namely integrated regulation, which reflects the integration of behaviour within the self.”
Validity of the international physical activity questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF): A systematic review (2011, background): “Over-reporting of physical activity by the IPAQ-SF is not uncommon [50], and it remains a key limitation of most self-reported measures of physical activity [51].”
Daily activity energy expenditure and mortality among older adults. (2006, background): “These findings were based on questionnaire assessments of physical activity, which are subject to recall bias,(7,8) are unable to account for free-living activity,(9) and typically overestimate actual amounts of physical activity.(10,11) Furthermore, self-reported physical activity does not provide ”
