Brief physical activity screening tools can support healthcare professionals in identifying patients who would benefit from physical activity promotion and counselling. The Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA) questionnaire is a validated brief physical activity screening tool designed for clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a psychometric validation of a new German translation of the RAPA by performing a secondary analysis of survey data from 234 former cardiac rehabilitation patients (mean [SD] age 69\u2009\u00b1\u200911 years, 23% female) in Austria. For psychometric validation, we used the following survey measures: the new German version of the RAPA, two customized questions about physical activity behavior, one customized question about perceived health self\u2010management, and the German version of the EuroQol health\u2010related quality of life questionnaire. We performed Spearman's correlations to assess the relationship between the German RAPA and the other measures (i.e., physical activity behavior, self\u2010management of health and health\u2010related quality of life).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Aerobic physical activity level according to the RAPA correlated significantly with weekly frequency (Spearman's rho = 0.31, 95% CI [0.18, 0.43], p\u2009&lt; .001) and volume of PA (rho = 0.34, 95% CI [0.21, 0.45],\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001), as well as perceived health self\u2010management and five out of six dimensions of the EuroQol questionnaire.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our data demonstrate convergent validity and contribute to the psychometric validation of the new German version of the RAPA.
