Brief Summary

Aim: The aim of this study is to conduct a Turkish cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability study of the Youth Activity Profile (YAP), developed to assess physical activity and sedentary behavior in a sample of individuals aged 12-17 years of Turkish descent. Method: Online surveys will be distributed to participants through social media platforms, messages, and emails. Participants' demographic information will be obtained using an online assessment form prepared by the researchers. Subsequently, the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A) will be used to determine the levels of physical activity. This survey will be completed by participants at a time convenient for them during the academic term. Following this, questions from the Youth Activity Profile (YAP) will be administered. Once the targeted number of participants is reached, the data collection process will be concluded, and the survey link will be deactivated. Potential Outcomes: It is expected that this study will contribute to a better understanding of the health behaviors and physical activity trends of adolescents aged 12-17 years, thereby informing health policies.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Youth Activity Profile (YAP)

  The Youth Activity Profile (YAP) is a 15-item questionnaire developed to evaluate physical activity and sedentary behavior in children and adolescents aged 8 to 17 years. It operates on a recall basis, covering activities over the previous week (7 days) and includes assessments of both school and out-of-school activities, as well as time spent in sedentary behaviors.

• Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A)

  Baseline

Study Arms (1)

Our study will be conducted as a single-group design

This study will be conducted with healthy young people aged 12-17 years who voluntarily agree to participate in the study. Individuals will be included in the study after obtaining consent from the participants and their parents. This questionnaire will be filled in at the convenience of the participants during the academic year. Then the questions of the Youth Activity Profile (YAP) will be asked. The time required to complete the questionnaires is approximately 20 minutes in total.

Other: Validity and Reliability

Interventions

Validity and Reliability OTHER

Participants were included in the study after obtaining consent from both the participants and their parents. Participants were informed about the study prior to the survey, and only those who volunteered were included in the study. The data collection process was conducted online via Google Forms. The assessment form was sent to the participants through social media platforms, messages, and emails. Participants completed the YAP-T twice, 7 days apart, and all measurements were taken on weekdays under similar conditions by the same evaluators (4 evaluators) in the same region (Istanbul). Test-retest reliability will be determined by calculating the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) between the total scores obtained from the two assessments.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 12 Years - 17 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

Healthy children aged between 12 and 17, both male and female, attending primary or middle school. In order to determine the validity and reliability of the scale, the number of items of the tested scale was taken into consideration in determining the sample number to be included in the study (15 items in total). The number of volunteers was determined as ten times the number of items (150 participants) and 15 substitutes were added to the number of volunteers considering the drops and the number of the sample was determined as 165.

You may qualify if:

• Aged between 12 and 17
• Enrolled in primary or middle school
• Volunteering to participate in the study

You may not qualify if:

• Having any serious visual impairment or mental health problem
