Development and reliability of a self-report questionnaire to examine childrens perceptions of the physical activity environment at home and in the neighbourhood

摘要

BackgroundEnvironmental factors are increasingly being implicated as key influences on children's physical activity. Few studies have comprehensively examined children's perceptions of their environment, and there is a paucity of literature on acceptable and reliable scales for measuring these. This study aimed to develop and test the acceptability and reliability of a scale which examined a broad range of environmental perceptions among children.
