“…A study in 2000 that was conducted in 12 countries and compared long and short questionnaire versions of the IPAQ showed no differences in reliability or accuracy [40]. In the present review, comparing long and short IPAQ questionnaire versions, it was found that physical activity is estimated more highly by the long version, as indeed already recognised in other studies [14,15,40]. It is therefore important that physical activity results should be compared when the same IPAQ version is used.…”

Determining physical activity requires the use of such widely recognised assessment methods as the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and accelerometers. This study reviews national and international research that used these tools in the years 2007-2016 for assessing physical activity in school children. Our analysis discovered higher levels of self-reported physical activity when the IPAQ version with the longer questionnaire was employed. The metabolic equivalent task (MET)-minutes/ week figures, obtained from the long and short questionnaire versions, showed very large disparities, which should in future serve as a signalling mechanism, so that researchers have a better understanding of how this assessment instrument is to be used. In the author's opinion, physical activity in young people will be assessed more objectively when both these tools are employed simultaneously.

“…In line with suggestions made in relevant publications [14,15], the longer IPAQ version gives somewhat higher estimates of physical activities than the short version when these are separately compared.…”

Background. In recent years, the subject literature has provided concrete recommendations concerning health with regard to specific parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to indicate appropriate physical activity standards for proper development at various stages of human ontogenesis. Objective. The aim of the work was knowledge of the level of physical activity of high school youth in the Visegrad countries, including gender indications, to demonstrate whether the WHO recommendations are fulfilled. Material and methods. The research was conducted in students from four Visegrad countries: the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. As the research method, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire − IPAQ in the extended version was used. Results. Boys seem to do much better and have largely fulfilled the WHO recommendation for high-intensity efforts performed 3 times for 20 minutes, and medium and high efforts − 7 times for 60 minutes, which is particularly crucial for the effectiveness of the level of physical activity. Conclusions. It is indispensable to continue monitoring the physical activity of young people using modern research techniques. It seems intentional to intensify promotion and educational activities, which should be aimed at motivating young people to undertake physical activity in accordance with world-wide recommendations.

“…although selfreporting of physical activity by means of questionnaires is widely used, mainly because of the low cost, ease of implementation and low burden on participants, this method of doing research has significant limitations in estimating accurate data. Self-evaluation tends to show an overestimation of the actual physical activity [37].…”
