Andrew C. Stuart; Timothy J. Suchomel; Shana M. McKeever; James J. Tufano; Kristen C. Cochrane-Snyman – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
This study examined within-session reliability and minimal detectable change (MDC) in mean split time, velocity, and acceleration across 100-meter start phases (0-20, 20-50, 50-70, 70-100 m) in elite speed skaters. Nineteen skaters (10 females, 9 males) completed two trials on the same day on a 400-meter indoor ice track under standardized…

David LaRocca; Jennie Quinlan; Sharon Scarbro; Charlotte Farewell; Jini Puma – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
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…

Samuel D'Emanuele; Francesca Nardello; Fabrizio Garau; Diego Campaci; Federico Schena; Cantor Tarperi – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
The agreement between a wearable inertial sensor (GYKO, G) and the force platform (P) was assessed by evaluating "test-retest" and "inter-rater reliability." Thirty-eight subjects were enrolled; the selected indices of balance were investigated over foot positions and (un)stable conditions. Intraclass correlation coefficient…

Matthew T. Mahar; Hoyong Sung – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
Field-based tests of aerobic fitness that can be administered quickly and do not require maximal effort are desirable. The purpose was to develop and validate quarter-mile walk tests for 10--13-year-olds. Participants (N = 59) walked one mile on two different days. Walk times, heart rates, body mass, physical activity, and aerobic fitness were…

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…

Karin A. Pfeiffer; Kimberly A. Clevenger; Aaron P. Wood; Jennifer Zink; Amanda Sharfman; Meher Din – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
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…
