About this trial
Validated physical activity questionnaires are often long and time-consuming, particularly when assessing both leisure-time and occupational physical activity and sedentary behavior.
The ACTIWORK study aims to validate a short questionnaire assessing physical activity at work and during leisure time, as well as sedentary behavior, by comparison with the reference Recent Physical Activity Questionnaire (RPAQ).
Participants will complete the study questionnaires twice, approximately one week apart, to assess the consistency of their responses over time.

Treatments tested in this trial
ACTIWORK questionnaire
Other interventionShort questionnaire assessing physical activity and sedentary behavior, including leisure-time and occupational physical activity, sitting time, and work-related characteristics. The questionnaire is administered twice, approximately one week apart, for test-retest assessment.
Recent Physical Activity Questionnaire (RPAQ)
Other interventionReference questionnaire assessing physical activity during the previous four weeks, including physical activity at home, at work, during commuting, and during leisure time. The RPAQ is administered twice, approximately one week apart.
REPEAS questionnaire
Other interventionQuestionnaire assessing environmental and personal barriers to regular physical activity. The questionnaire includes 12 items covering environmental and personal factors that may limit regular physical activity and is administered twice, approximately one week apart.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Working time assessed by ACTIWORK
Working time assessed using the ACTIWORK questionnaire, expressed as hours per week and hours per working day.
Leisure-time physical activity assessed by ACTIWORK
Time spent in leisure-time physical activity assessed using the ACTIWORK questionnaire, expressed as hours per week.
Physical activity intensity assessed by ACTIWORK
Perceived intensity of physical activity during leisure time and at work, assessed using visual analog scales ranging from 0 (minimum intensity) to 100 (maximum intensity) .
Daily sitting time assessed by ACTIWORK
Total time spent sitting per day, assessed using the ACTIWORK questionnaire and expressed in hours per day.
Secondary outcomes
Recent Physical Activity Questionnaire (RPAQ)
Physical activity assessed using the reference Recent Physical Activity Questionnaire (RPAQ), covering physical activity at home, at work, during commuting, and during leisure time over the previous four weeks.
REPEAS questionnaire
Environmental and personal barriers to regular physical activity assessed using the 12-item REPEAS questionnaire. Each barrier is rated using a visual analog scale ranging from minimum (0) to maximum (100) difficulty.
