Katie J. Robinson; David R. Lubans; Myrto F. Mavilidi; Francisco B. Ortega; Nicholas Riley – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
The purpose of our study was to assess the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the 30 sec Sit to Stand test in a sample of adolescents. We recruited 30 male (58%) and 22 female (42%) participants (mean age = 15.77 years ± 0.46). Participants completed the 30-sec Sit to Stand and standing long jump tests on two occasions separated by…

Freene, Nicole; Pike, Alanah; Smith, Demi; Pradhananga, Aarati; Toohey, Kellie – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
The 2-minute step test (2MST) requires minimal resources and is valid in adults older than 60 years. Here we investigate if the 2MST can be used to estimate peak oxygen consumption (VO[subscript 2]peak) in healthy middle-aged adults (40-59 years old). Thirty-six participants completed the 2MST and a maximal graded treadmill test with…

Jimenez-Garcia, John Alexander; Hong, Chang Ki; Miller, Matthew B.; DeMont, Richard – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
The purpose of this Delphi-study was to establish the face and content validity of 10 movement skills, each with four evaluation criteria, to create the Children Focused Injury Risk Screening Tool (ChildFIRST) for 8-12-year-old children. We asked an international expert panel (n = 22) to validate a series of movement skills and evaluation…

Lander, Natalie; Morgan, Philip J.; Salmon, Jo; Barnett, Lisa M. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2016
Fundamental movement skills (FMS) competence is low in adolescent girls. An assessment tool for teachers is needed to monitor FMS in this demographic. The present study explored whether the Canadian Agility and Movement Skill Assessment (CAMSA) is feasible for use by physical education (PE) teachers of Australian Year 7 girls in a school setting.…
