Huseyin Celik; Ahmet Yildirim; Evrim Unver; Caner Mavili; Ekrem Yilmaz; Ferhat Ozturk; Pinar Arpinar-Avsar; Sukru Alpan Cinemre – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
The purpose was to evaluate reliability of measurements during drop jump (DJ) and magnitude of differences in vertical jump height (VJH) when calculated using two variables: time-in-the-air and center-of-mass velocity. Thirty-seven handball players performed three single-leg and double-leg DJs on a portable force plate during two sessions. Sixteen…

John D. Holohan; Jacob P. DeBlois; Tom D. Brutsaert – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
Anaerobic capacity is an important determinant of swimming performance, and a feasible land-based test for measuring swim-specific anaerobic capacity is lacking. This study assessed the test-retest reliability of a swim-specific modification of the Wingate anaerobic capacity test: the WAnT-Swim. Ten competitive and fitness swimmers from the local…

Spudic, Darjan; Janez, Vodicar; Vedran, Hadžic – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
The purpose was to evaluate the intra- and inter-session reliability of hip isometric strength assessment using a frame-stabilized dynamometer (FSD) and to compare the results in the hip adduction (ADD) and abduction (ABD) strength assessment using handheld dynamometer (HHD). Twenty participants (24.2 [2.6] years, 69.3 [10.0] kg) underwent testing…

The present study aimed to validate the Chinese version of the Tendency to Avoid Physical Activity and Sport Scale (TAPAS) among university students living in Hong Kong to assess weight and body image concerns. A convenience sample of 787 students (63.5% females; 24.5% overweight) were recruited online. The factor structure of the scale was…

Jesús Mellado-Berenguer; Manuel Monfort-Pañego – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
Several observation tools evaluate teaching quality in Physical Education (PE), but none of them cover the core competencies required to comprehensively assess whether the teacher is providing teaching quality in PE. The aim of this research is to develop, validate, and test the reliability of the System for Observing Teaching Competencies in…

Aaron J. Zynda; Shelby Baez; Jessica Wallace; Christopher Kuenze; Tracey Covassin – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
This study determined the test-retest reliability of 10 sensorimotor skills assessed by the Senaptec Sensory Station in a population of 100 (80 female, age = 21.6 ± 2.8 years) college-aged individuals (18-30 years). Separate intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) with a two-way mixed-effects model, absolute agreement, and 95% confidence…

Makaruk, Hubert; Porter, Jared M.; Cieslinski, Igor – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
This study examined the test-retest reliability of the standing long jump (SLJ) and the countermovement jump (CMJ) following consistent and non-consistent attentional focus cuing instructions in physically active young adults (n = 30). The systematic error (as standardize change in mean), random error (as typical error), the Bland and Altman…

Rafael Burgueño; Ángel Abós; Javier Sevil-Serrano; Leen Haerens; Katrien De Cocker; Luis García-González – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
Building upon self-determination theory and the circumplex approach, the objective of this study was to adapt the Situations-in-School-Physical Education (SIS-PE) questionnaire and to gather validity and reliability evidence in the Spanish PE context. Three samples of 1441 students (46.43% girls), 473 in-service teachers (35.73% women), and 654…

Miller, Matthew B.; Jimenez-Garcia, John Alexander; Hong, Chang Ki; DeMont, Richard – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
The Child-Focused Injury Risk Screening Tool (ChildFIRST) is a process-based assessment including 10 movement skills with 4 associated evaluation criteria. The ChildFIRST has been validated by a group of experts to evaluate movement competence and injury risk in 8-12-year-olds. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reliability of the…

Junsu Bae; Youngkyun Sim; Eunchul Seo; Geonwoo Seo; Yunbae Nam – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
In combat sports, competition preparation is crucial, but research on this topic has been limited due to a lack of measurement tools. This study aimed to develop and validate the Multidimensional Assessment of Preparation for Sport Competition (MAPSC). In the first step, 61 athletes and 39 coaches collaborated to conceptualize and develop…

Gnacinski, Stacy L.; Janes, Mikaela K.; Newman, Nathan D. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
The purposes of this study were to examine the factorial validity of the six-item Intragroup Conflict Scale (ICS) in athletic trainer (AT) and coach populations and to examine measurement invariance by gender and profession. A total of 195 ATs and 615 head or assistant coaches working at secondary schools or National Collegiate Athletic…

Krüger, Mirko – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
This study aimed to develop and psychometrically evaluate a self-report instrument to assess attitudes and self-efficacy of Physical Education (PE) preservice teachers toward teaching linguistically and culturally diverse PE classes. An 18-item instrument was developed for the initial tests. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory…

Gill, Diane L.; Reifsteck, Erin J.; Adams, Melanie M.; Shang, Ya-Ting – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2015
Despite the clear relationship between physical activity and quality of life, few sound, relevant quality of life measures exist. Gill and colleagues developed a 32-item quality of life survey, and provided initial psychometric evidence. This study further examined that quality of life survey in comparison with the widely used short form (SF-36)…

Moore, E. Whitney G.; Brown, Theresa C.; Fry, Mary D. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2015
The purpose of this study was to develop an abbreviated version of the Perceived Motivational Climate in Exercise Questionnaire (PMCEQ-A) to provide a more practical instrument for use in applied exercise settings. In the calibration step, two shortened versions' measurement and latent model values were compared to each other and the original…
