Résumé

The need to evaluate or quantify an individual's physical activity often raises the problems of choosing the instrument which most adequately meets the requirements of the study. This article offers a presentation of various questionnaires available in the literature. It proposes a table intended to characterize these questionnaires as well as a summary of validation steps. These tools allow rapid comparisons between questionnaires and are helpful in guiding the user's choice of a well adapted questionnaire.
