AB This study aimed to systematically review previous studies on the reliability and concurrentvalidity of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). A systematic literature search wasconducted (n = 26) using the online EBSCOHost databases, PubMed, Web of Science, and GoogleScholar up to September 2019. A previously developed coding sheet was used to collect the data.The Modified Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies wasemployed to assess risk of bias and study quality. It was found that GPAQ was primarily revalidatedin adult populations in Asian and European countries. The sample size ranged from 43 to 2657 with awide age range (i.e., 15–79 years old). Di erent populations yielded inconsistent results concerningthe reliability and validity of the GPAQ. Short term (i.e., one- to two-week interval) and long-term(i.e., two- to three-month apart) test–retest reliability was good to very good. The concurrent validityusing accelerometers, pedometers, and physical activity (PA) log was poor to fair. The GPAQ dataand accelerometer/pedometer/PA log data were not compared using the same measurements in somevalidation studies. Studies with more rigorous research designs are needed before any conclusionsconcerning the concurrent validity of GPAQ can be reached.
