Turkish Cultural Adaptation, Validity and Reliability Study of Youth Activity Profile
Sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa
Summary
Aim: The aim of this study is to conduct a Turkish cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability study of the Youth Activity Profile (YAP), developed to assess physical activity and sedentary behavior in a sample of individuals aged 12-17 years of Turkish descent. Method: Online surveys will be distributed to participants through social media platforms, messages, and emails. Participants' demographic information will be obtained using an online assessment form prepared by the researchers. Subsequently, the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A) will be used to determine the levels of physical activity. This survey will be completed by participants at a time convenient for them during the academic term. Following this, questions from the Youth Activity Profile (YAP) will be administered. Once the targeted number of participants is reached, the data collection process will be concluded, and the survey link will be deactivated. Potential Outcomes: It is expected that this study will contribute to a better understanding of the health behaviors and physical activity trends of adolescents aged 12-17 years, thereby informing health policies.

Validity and Reliability
Participants were included in the study after obtaining consent from both the participants and their parents. Participants were informed about the study prior to the survey, and only those who volunteered were included in the study. The data collection process was conducted online via Google Forms. The assessment form was sent to the participants through social media platforms, messages, and emails. Participants completed the YAP-T twice, 7 days apart, and all measurements were taken on weekdays under similar conditions by the same evaluators (4 evaluators) in the same region (Istanbul). Test-retest reliability will be determined by calculating the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) between the total scores obtained from the two assessments.
