Validity and reliability of the Arabic sedentary behavior questionnaire among university students aged between 18-30 years old.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the Arabic version of the sedentary behavior questionnaire (SBQ).

Methods

A total of 624 university students (273 males; 351 females, mean age = 20.8 years) were recruited from Taibah University, Madinah, Saudi Arabia. For criterion and constructive validity (n = 352), the Arabic SBQ was compared with total sitting time from the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form (IPAQ-SF) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-long form (IPAQ-LF). For concurrent validity, the English and Arabic SBQ versions were given concurrently to bilingual university students (n = 122) once. For test-retest reliability, the Arabic SBQ was given twice to participants (n = 150) at a one-week interval.
