I need a self-administered, validated questionnairre for assessing physical activity for children below 15 years of age to look for its relation to nutritional status. The available IPAQ questionnaire is for those above 15 years old and the Canadian Community Health Survey doesn't mention the details of the questionnairre
Dear Prof Meaad,
There are a few published questionnaires aimed to assess the physical activity level of children and adolescents. However, kindly check through if these questionnaires are valid and applicable to your population.

Thank you very much for your support. The last one (PAQ-C) is very helpful
Dear Dr. Meaad,
I would suggest that you also look into the ICF-CY (International Classification of Functionality - Children & Youth). Maybe it's not what you're looking for, but it's important to be aware of when you're interested in activity.
Best regards
