The aim of this paper is to report the development and the reliability and validity of the Preschool-age Children s Physical Activity Questionnaire Pre-PAQ which was designed to measure activity of preschool-age children in the home environment in population studies. Methods Pre-PAQ was completed by 103 families and validated against accelerometry for 67 children mean age years SD males 53 . Pre-PAQ categorizes activity into five progressive levels stationary no movement stationary with limb or trunk movement slow medium or fast-paced activity . Pre-PAQ Levels 1-2 stationary activities were combined for analyses. Accelerometer data were categorized for stationary sedentary SED non-sedentary non-SED light LPA moderate MPA and vigorous VPA physical activity using manufacturer s advice stationary or the cut-points described by Sirard et al and Reilly et al. Bland-Altman methods were used to assess agreement between the questionnaire and the accelerometer measures for corresponding activity levels. Reliability of the Pre-PAQ over one week was determined using intraclass correlations ICC or kappa k values and percentage of agreement of responses between the two questionnaire administrations. Results Pre-PAQ had good agreement with LPA mean difference and VPA mean difference was adequate for stationary activity mean difference and poor for sedentary activity whether defined using the cut-points of Sirard et al mean .
