This study tested the equivalence of concurrently collected measurements of physical activity in children ages 3-5 years from the System for Observing Play and Leisure Activity in Youth (SOPLAY) and accelerometers. Accelerometry-based physical activity measurements were collected from 109 preschool children across 18 sites, and SOPLAY was used to…

Justin Kompf; Ryan Rhodes – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
The measurement of resistance training (RT) is often based on adaptations of aerobic physical activity measures which may not contain the elements necessary to assess RT. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine what measures are used to assess RT and appraise their composition. Specifically, the inclusion of frequency, duration,…

Tim Bogg; Phuong T. Vo – Journal of American College Health, 2024
Objective: The efficacy of effort appraisal exercise action plans was tested among underactive and inactive university students (N = 221). Methods: Students were randomized across three conditions (information, action planning, or realistic effort action planning (REAP)) and participated in psychoeducational small-group sessions. Students returned…

Nicholas D. Myers; Ahnalee M. Brincks; Seungmin Lee – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
Physical activity (PA) promotion is an ideal intervention target for public health because it has the potential to help individuals feel better, sleep better, and perform daily tasks more easily, in addition to providing disease prevention benefits. There is strong evidence that individual-level theory-based behavioral interventions are effective…

Introduction: Short sleep, physical inactivity, and being locked up are risk factors for weight gain. Objective: We evaluated weight gain according to sex, age, hours of sleep and physical activity in university students from 10 Latin American countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Cross-sectional and multicenter study (n = 4880).…

In 2011, the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research established a Measures Registry (updated in 2020) for four key variables associated with childhood obesity. We analyzed the individual physical activity behaviors portion of the Measures Registry to highlight strengths and gaps in the reliability and validity literature for…

Objectives: There is a need to examine the utility of objective measures of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children. Objective measures of ADHD symptoms, such as physical activity, may provide a more nuanced assessment of behavior that can be used to augment traditional cross-informant ratings of ADHD symptoms by…
