Belhaidas, Mohammed B.; Dahoune, Oumri; Eather, Narelle; Oukebdane, Mohammed Anis – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
This study investigated the objectivity, reliability, and the validity of the Basketball Throw Test (BTT) as an upper-body muscular strength measure. Participants (33 boys and 32 girls; mean age = 8.75 ± 1.47) performed the BTT on 2 occasions (1-week apart), and the hand-grip test as criterion measure. The objectivity and reliability were…

Miguel Jacinto; Diogo Monteiro; Luís Cid; Diogo Teixeira; Rui Matos; Raul Antunes; Filipe Rodrigues – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
The objective of the present research is to examine the factor structure of the Interpersonal Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ) and the Interpersonal Behavior Self Questionnaire (IBQ-Self) in the sport context. Confirmatory factor analyses were used to assess the psychometric properties and measurement invariance across sex and sports. For the IBQ, a…

Janz, Kathleen F.; Laurson, Kelly R.; Baptista, Fatima; Mahar, Matthew T.; Welk, Gregory J. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
Using a sample of healthy youth (n = 466, 10 to 18 yr), we report the predictive utility of vertical jump power (VJ Power, W) for predicting bone strength. We measured VJ Power using mechanography and an indicator of bone strength, i.e., height-adjusted total bone mineral content less head (TBLH BMC, g), using DXA. Growth curve models were used to…

Menescardi, Cristina; Villarrasa-Sapiña, Israel; Lander, Natalie; Estevan, Isaac – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
The Canadian Agility and Movement Skill Assessment (CAMSA) is a circuit-based measure of motor competence. This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of CAMSA in Spanish children. A sample of 749 children participated voluntarily. Acceptable-to-good internal consistency ([alpha] = 0.54 and G-coefficient = 0.88) and…

Burgueño, Rafael; Calderón, Antonio; Sinelnikov, Oleg; Medina-Casaubón, Jesús – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
This research developed and psychometrically tested the Sport Education Scale, a measure of students' perceptions of the structural features of a Sport Education season. In the first study (N = 277 students), a pool of 28 items was developed, and an exploratory factor analysis found a 7-factor solution. In the second study (N = 656 students), a…

Maïano, Christophe; Morin, Alexandre J. S.; April, Johanne; Webster, E. Kipling; Hue, Olivier; Dugas, Claude; Ulrich, Dale – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
The objective was to assess the psychometric properties of a French-Canadian version of the third edition of the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-3). Participants were 127 French-speaking Canadian children. Results supported the validity-reliability of a bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling representation of the TGMD-3.…

Crocetta, Tânia Brusque; Guarnieri, Regiani; Massetti, Thaís; da Silva, Talita Dias; de Almeida Barbosa, Renata Thaís; Ferreira de Lima Antão, Jennifer Yohanna; de Abreu, Luiz Carlos; Monteiro, Carlos Bandeira de Mello – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
The coincidence-anticipation timing (CAT) task assesses one facet of cognitive and motor performance and is used to understand the human visuo-motor system involved in intercepting the moving object. To assess the test-retest reliability and the concurrent validity in the "Bridge Games" package (Bridge) developed to assess the CAT task,…

Starnes, Heather A.; McDonough, Meghan H.; Wilson, Jeffrey S.; Mroczek, Daniel K.; Laden, Francine; Troped, Philip J. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
The purpose of this study was to examine the factorial invariance of the Abbreviated Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale (NEWS-A) across subgroups based on demographic, health-related, behavioral, and environmental characteristics among Nurses' Health Study participants (N = 2,919; age M = 73.0, SD = 6.9 years) living in California,…

Tilga, Henri; Hein, Vello; Koka, Andre – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2017
This research aimed to develop and validate an instrument to assess the students' perceptions of the teachers' autonomy-supportive behavior by the multi-dimensional scale (Multi-Dimensional Perceived Autonomy Support Scale for Physical Education). The participants were 1,476 students aged 12- to 15-years-old. In Study 1, a pool of 37 items was…

Plotnikoff, Ronald C.; Lippke, Sonia; Reinbold-Matthews, Melissa; Courneya, Kerry S.; Karunamuni, Nandini; Sigal, Ronald J.; Birkett, Nicholas – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2007
This study was designed to test the validity of a transtheoretical model's physical activity (PA) stage measure with intention and different intensities of behavior in a large population-based sample of adults living with diabetes (Type 1 diabetes, n = 697; Type 2 diabetes, n = 1,614) and examine different age groups. The overall…
