Abstract

Objective: To carry out the cross-cultural adaptation of the CLINIMEX Aerobic Fitness Questionnaire into Chilean Spanish for the estimation of cardiorespiratory fitness.

Methods: An initial translation was performed by two bilingual translators whose native language is Chilean Spanish, followed by a back-translation by two bilingual translators whose native language is Portuguese. A committee of experts then reviewed the questionnaire before it was administered to a first group of 40 individuals aged 18 and older. After confirming its comprehensibility, the final version was administered to a second group of 20 participants.

Results: In the first phase, 27.5% (n=11) had difficulties with the term “hatha,” 10% (n=4) with “spinning,” 7.5% (n=3) with “hydrogymnastics,” and 2.5% (n=1) with “strength training.” In the second group, the estimated cardiorespiratory fitness was 10.8±2.8 METs (range 5–16).

Conclusion: The CLINIMEX questionnaire was successfully adapted into Chilean Spanish. This adaptation represents a key step toward the validation of the instrument in our population and provides a simple tool for the clinical assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness.
