Rauh M J D (Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of Washington, USA), Hovell M F, Hofstetter C R, Sallis J F and Gleghorn A. Reliability and validity of self-reported physical activity in Latinos. International Journal of Epidemiology 1992; 21: 966–971.

The reliability and validity of six self-report physical activity measures were assessed in Latino adults. Validity was assessed by caltrac activity monitors, ‘significant others’, and construct analyses. Vigorous activity measures had higher reliability and validity (e.g. r>0.40, P<0.05) than moderate intensity measures. Though measures varied in their validity, the use of standard physical activity measures with Latinos was supported, and recommendations for specific measures were provided.
