Abstract: Background and purpose The World Health Organization (2020) suggests 150 minutes of moderate-level aerobic physical activity per week or 75 minutes of solid intensity per week. Every physical activity must be assessed with measuring equipment to determine how active a person is in their spare time. However, the Questionnaire instrument is only available in a few languages and has yet to be in Indonesian. Furthermore, similar questionnaires have yet to be translated into Indonesian, focusing on measuring exercise or sports activity. In addition, some of the physical activity or physical exercise content listed in the questionnaire differs from Indonesia's geographic and cultural conditions, such as cross-country skiing, judo, roller skating, alpine skiing, and snow-mobilizing.

Results Pearson's correlation and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) were used to analyze the data. The construct validity showed r> 0.5, and the retest reliability was 0.998, indicating that the questionnaire was valid and reliable, and the ICC was 0.943, indicating that the Godin-Shepard’s Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire had excellent interrater consistency.
