Abstract
. El propósito de este artículo es evaluar la estabilidad temporal del cuestionario "Transporte Activo y Rutinas", después de un período de 4 semanas en una muestra de adolescentes portugueses. La muestra de 43 niños (15 Masc. y 23 Fem.), con edades entre 9-12 años (10,5 ± 0,6). El cuestionario "Transporte Activo y Rutinas" es un instrumento desarrollado en el Instituto de Educación (Centro de Investigación para Estudios del Niño) de la Universidad do Minho. En la determinación de los niveles de reproducibilidad, se utilizó el procedimiento de prueba y prueba, 4 semanas de intervalo entre las dos aplicaciones. El cuestionario muestra una fiabilidad aceptable, verificado por consistencia temporal, particularmente en cuestiones relativas a la caracterización general; uso de la bicicleta, a pie, compañeros y familiares; y la seguridad en bicicleta. Con respecto a los temas relacionados con la salud y la autonomía y el medio ambiente y el ahorro de la misma ya no se aplica. Este estudio preliminar muestra que el cuestionario "Transporte Activo y Rutinas", presenta una fiabilidad aceptable, verificado por consistencia temporal. El cuestionario se puede replicar, pero debe ser de tamaño reducido (manteniendo sólo los tres primeros grupos de preguntas) cambiando el vocabulario adaptado al grupo de edad en estudio y el uso de una presentación más atractiva visualmente.Abstract. Active transportation between home and school is encouraged by several international and national organizations with the aim to promote health. However, no study on the validation of questionnaires on this type of transportation in youth has been carried out in Portugal to the date. The purpose of this study was to assess the external validity of the questionnaire “Active Transportation and Routines” during a 4-week period in a sample of 43 Portuguese adolescents (15 boys and 23 girls) aged 9 to 12 years (10,5 ± 0,6). The questionnaire “Active Transportation and Routines” was developed by the Institute of Education (Research Center for the Studies on Children) of the University of Minho. In order to evaluate external validity, a test-retest procedure was used with a lapse of 4-weeks between the two applications. The instrument shows an acceptable reliability, verified through temporal consistency on the dimensions of general characterization, use of bicycle, walking, peers and family, and safety on bicycle. Regarding the items related with health and autonomy and environment, this questionnaire is not used for investigating these topics any longer. This preliminary study shows that the questionnaire “Active Transportation and Routines” is reliable and consistent over time. The instrument can be replicated; however, it should be shortened (keeping only the first three groups of items), its vocabulary might be changed in order to adapt it according to the age range it is used for, and it could be visually more attractive.
