Research objectives. This study aimed to validate the use of the Physical Activity Questionnaire Adolescent (PAQ-A), a physical activity instrument widely used in a school setting, among Indonesian adolescents, particularly during blended learning or online schooling due to COVID-19 restrictions. Materials and methods. This study was a cross-sectional survey of 370 Indonesian adolescents (62.2% female, mean 15±2 years) participating in online and blended learning. Participants completed the Indonesian version of the PAQ-A online. Sixty-three (17%) participants completed the same questionnaire one week later (second survey) for the test-retest reliability, from which the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated. Internal consistency reliability was calculated in both surveys, while confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was analyzed from the data in the first survey. Results. The Cronbach alpha of the PAQ-A for the first and second surveys was 0.78 and 0.82, thus indicating the acceptability of internal consistency reliability. The ICC for all PAQ-A items ranged from 0.40 to 0.81, indicating fair to excellent test and retest reliability. The root means square error of approximation was 0.033 suggesting acceptable construct validity of the instrument. Conclusions. In conclusion, sufficient evidence shows the validity and reliability of the PAQ-A to justify the use of the questionnaires for measuring physical activity levels in the Indonesian adolescents in the blended learning or online schooling setting.
Resiko terjadi cedera tidak hanya ada di lapangan, aktivitas fisik di lingkungan tempat wisata pun memiliki potensi terjadinya cedera yang sangat besar. Persepsi mengenai cedera perlu dipertimbangkan sebagai langkah awal antisipasi kejadian cedera akibat aktivitas fisik di tempat rekreasi. Mayoritas praktisi mungkin lupa bahwa peran instruktur khususnya di tempat wisata perlu dipelajari lebih mendalam karena masih jarang ada yang berani untuk menelusuri lebih lanjut. Observasi studi ini dilakukan kepada 18 instruktur melalui teknik pengambilan subjek dengan total sampling di Kampung Wisata Air Titik 0 Jawa Tengah. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semua instruktur yang terlibat terbiasa melakukan aktivitas fisik 1-2 kali seminggu sebesar 88,89%, lebih besar dibandingkan instruktur yang terbiasa beraktivitas fisik 3-4 kali seminggu yang hanya sebesar 11,11%. Cedera di bagian kepala belum pernah dialami oleh seluruh instruktur, satu orang mengalami cedera pada bagian punggung (5,5%) dan tubuh bagian atas (5,5%), dan mayoritas instruktur mengalami cedera pada tubuh bagian bawah (88,89%). Kondisi tegang (38,89) dan memar (27,78%), retak (16,67%), berputar atau terkilir (5,56%) dialami oleh semua intruktur. Penyebab cedera terjadi mayoritas akibat jatuh (72,27%), kontak fisik (16,67%) dan beban berlebih (11,11%). Lebih dari 50% instruktur mengalami pengulangan cedera dan berhenti melakukan kegiatan kurang lebih sampai rentang 2 minggu. Terjadi penurunan waktu peregangan, meskipun semua instruktur tidak lupa untuk melakukan sebelum dan setelah aktivitas. Perlu adanya penerapan strategi pemulihan, meskipun instruktur beranggapan bahwa cedera tidak menurunkan kondisi kebugaran.
