Physical Activity Behavior, Health and Wellbeing Study - Questionnaire

Project Tittle: Test-Retest Reliability of a Physical Activity Behavior, Health and Wellbeing Questionnaire in Adolescents

The data was collected as part of a test-retest reliability study on a physical activity behavior, health and wellbeing questionnaire in adolescents and was conducted via the Physical Education and Sport Sciences Department and Health Research Institute in the University of Limerick. Research ethics approval for this study and the associated protocols was granted by the research ethics committee of the Faculty of Education and Health Sciences, University of Limerick.

The study aimed to examine the test-retest reliability of the physical activity behavior, health and wellbeing questionnaire in adolescent populations, administered by teachers in school settings, in the Republic of Ireland. A cross-sectional included 55 participants (45.5% males: Age,13.94 (±.40) were included. The participants completed the questionnaire on two occasions (T1 and T2), on the same day and time, one week apart following identical procedures

The physical activity behaviour, health and wellbeing survey was assembled using tools with previously established validity. Although some research exists to support the reliability of questionnaires to measure physical activity behavior, health and wellbeing, there is a scarcity of research examining the reliability of tools to estimate all components as part of one questionnaire, utilizing a range of relative and absolute reliability indices.

The questionnaire consists of variety of physical activity behaviour (n=13), health (n=11) and wellbeing (n=2) variables. The data was collected between January and March 2023. The current survey is supporting information for publication.
