AB  - BACKGROUND: To ensure accurate measurement of the health benefits of habitual 
      physical activity in large sample epidemiological studies, physical activity 
      questionnaires (PAQs) are the most feasible methods. Therefore, the purpose of 
      this study was the validation and cultural adaptation to the Hungarian population 
      of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-HL). METHODS: A 
      cross-sectional study among Hungarian healthy adults (age 21.375 +/- 1.940 years, 
      n = 120) was performed comparing measures of last 7 days IPAQ-HL self- 
      administered questionnaire and obtained accelerometer (Actigraph GT3X) data for 
      concurrent validity, reassessed by a random subsample (n = 33) to measure 
      reliability. RESULTS: Our results indicate acceptable criterion validity for 
      total physical activity, moderate to vigorous physical activity (R = 0.387, 
      p < 0.001; R = 0.331 p < 0.001 respectively) and moderate physical activity 
      (R = 0.193, p = 0.034). The ICC scores revealed moderate to good correlations 
      (ICC = 0.744-0.942, p < 0.001). Moderate Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure (0.531, 
      p < 0.001) and good reproducibility for vigorous, moderate to vigorous and 
      moderate activities was found for IPAQ-HL in the studied population. 
      Nevertheless, like analogous self-reports in other languages, it overestimates 
      the time spent on physical activity. CONCLUSIONS: IPAQ-HL proved to be a 
      reasonably valid measure for population prevalence epidemiological studies and is 
      suggested for use to develop public health policy recommendations or to optimize 
      public health interventions. However, the results on vigorous activity should be 
      interpreted with caution, the questionnaire showed moderate validity for this 
      particular intensity.
