Development of the SH150 Questionnaire for Taiwan's Adolescents
Abstract：Since 2013, the "Sports and Health 150 Policy" has been advocated by the Sports Administration of Taiwan's Ministry of Education, but there is currently no valid and reliable assessment questionnaire that can be used as a national survey. Therefore, this study aims to develop a reliable and valid "SH150 Questionnaire for Taiwan's Adolescents" (hereinafter referred to as the SH150 Questionnaire), in order to effectively measure and evaluate the physical activity time of Taiwan's adolescents. A total of 106 junior high school students in Taipei City were recruited to wear a tri-axis accelerometer for 5 days. Only 77 students met the standards and filled out the SH150 Questionnaire twice. The results of the questionnaire found that the average physical activity time of the study subjects during non-physical education classes at school was 251.5 (SD = 495.2) min/week. Regarding the test-retest reliability, there was no significant difference between the total physical activity in school and various physical activity time in the pretest and posttest; Spearman's correlation coefficient analysis found that there were 2 questions with a correlation coefficient above .70: "Time between classes" and "time spent in school after school"; the coefficients of the remaining five questions range from .20 to .50; the correlation coefficient of the total physical activity time is .45. Regarding criterion-related validity, there was a significant correlation between questionnaire measurement and physical activity time as measured by accelerometer. These results provide evidence of the reliability and validity of the SH150 Questionnaire with respect to adolescents, and will help researchers and policy makers understand the current levels of physical activity among adolescents in Taiwan and the effectiveness of advocating the SH150 Policy.
