Table presents the description of the instruments evaluated in alphabetical order, also the psychometric properties assessed in each study, relevant characteristics of each property, such as the time between each test–retest (reproducibility) analysis, comparator instrument (construct validity), sample characteristics, relevant results to the statistical analyzes carried out, classification regarding the methodological quality, classification of the results of the analyzes and level of evidence of the comparator instrument (construct validity). The type of ICC used was specified in subscript when informed by the article.

ICC, intraclass correlation coefficient; LoA, limits of agreement; LPA, leisure physical activity; MD, mean difference; MET, metabolic equivalent of task; MVPA, moderate and vigorous physical activity; n/a, not applicable; OPA, occupational physical activity; PA, physical activity; ROC, receiver operating characteristic; SD, standard deviation; SPA, sports physical activity; SPPB, short physical performance battery; TPA, transportation physical activity; VO₂, oxygen volume; WHODAS, Word Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule.

(+) = sufficient rating, (?) = indeterminate rating, (−) = insufficient rating.

For the abbreviation listed in the physical activity questionnaire refer to Table 2.
