Direct linkClevenger, Kimberly A.; Pfeiffer, Karin A.; Montoye, Alexander H. K. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
Free-living comparability of wGT3X-BT and GT9X ActiGraphs has not been verified. Participants (n = 34, 35% females, 7-17 y) wore hip-worn monitors for one week. Vector magnitude (VM; 15-s epoch), Mean Amplitude Deviation (MAD) and Euclidean Norm Minus One (ENMO) (5-s epoch), and percent of time spent in each activity intensity (using cut-points)…

Kurth, Jordan D.; Klenosky, David B. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) is a globally-used self-report measure of physical activity (PA). Validity evidence exists; none has evaluated the IPAQ-SF with reduced recall time. This study evaluates absolute and relative agreement for PA at all intensities, and relative to recommended guideline…

Bateman, Andre; Myers, Nicholas D.; Chen, Sisi; Lee, Seungmin – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
Self-efficacy is a psychosocial determinant of physical activity in adults. Different scales have been used to measure physical activity self-efficacy. This review examines the theoretical and measurement quality of scales measuring physical activity self-efficacy in physical activity-promoting interventions. The search strategy was based on the…

Park, SeYun; Jang, JungYun; Reifsteck, Erin; Gill, Diane L. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
In this study, we examined the factor structure and reliability of the Korean Quality of Life (KQoL) survey and compared the KQoL survey to both the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). We also assessed associations between KQoL scores and physical activity (PA)…

Martin, Eric M.; True, Larissa; Pfeiffer, Karin A.; Siegel, Shannon R.; Branta, Crystal F.; Wisner, Dave; Haubenstricker, John; Seefeldt, Vern – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
Research tracking sport participation from youth to adulthood is relatively rare, as is research that tracks youth sport participation with regard to adult physical activity (PA) levels, especially in the United States. Aims of this study were: 1) To investigate the degree to which sport participation tracked across youth, adolescence, and early…

The main aim of this study was to assess the criterion validity of the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) to measure SB in community-dwelling older adults using thigh-measured accelerometry as the criterion method. 801 participants (75.6 ± 6.1 years old, 57.6% females) provided valid thigh-based accelerometer data (activPAL/Axivity) and…

Nelson, Megan C.; Taylor, Katie; Vella, Chantal A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
The aim of this study was to investigate differences between estimates of sedentary behavior and physical activity (PA) from the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and accelerometry in undergraduate students. 91 students participated in the study. Sedentary behavior and PA were objectively measured by an accelerometer for 7 days…

Bödeker, Malte; Bucksch, Jens; Wallmann-Sperlich, Birgit – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
The Neighborhood Physical Activity Questionnaire allows to assess physical activity within and outside the neighborhood. Study objectives were to examine the criterion-related validity and health/functioning associations of Neighborhood Physical Activity Questionnaire-derived physical activity in German older adults. A total of 107 adults aged…

Clevenger, Kimberly A.; Moore, Rebecca W.; Suton, Darijan; Montoye, Alexander H.K.; Trost, Stewart G.; Pfeiffer, Karin A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
This study examined if accelerometer-based assessments of physical activity were responsive to changes in physical activity level commensurate with performing structured versus unstructured activity in youth. Youth (6-16 years; N = 206) participated in a simulated after-school program that included structured and unstructured games on four…

Murphy, Joseph J.; Murphy, Marie H.; MacDonncha, Ciaran; Murphy, Niamh; Nevill, Alan M.; Woods, Catherine B. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2017
The purpose of this study was to compare the validity and reliability of three short physical activity self-report instruments to determine their potential for use with university student populations. The participants (N = 155; 44.5% male; 22.9 ± 5.13 years) wore an accelerometer for 9 consecutive days and completed a single-item measure, the a…

Chen, Han; Dai, Jun; Liu, Jiling – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
The study aims to examine psychometric property, measurement invariance, and latent mean difference of a Chinese version instrument of the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2 (C-BREQ-2), which originally includes five constructs. The study also examined the relationship between C-BREQ-2and participants' weekly moderate to vigorous…

Carson, Valerie; Hesketh, Kylie D.; Rhodes, Ryan E.; Rinaldi, Christina; Rodgers, Wendy; Spence, John C. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2017
This study examined the psychometric properties of a questionnaire developed with the guidance of the socialization model of child behaviour to understand modifiable correlates of toddlers' physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Findings are based on 118 parents (33.7 ± 4.9 years; 86% female) of toddlers (19.3 ± 2.7 months; 48% female) from…

Gråstén, Arto; Watt, Anthony – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2016
The current article provides an important insight into measurement differences between two commonly used self-reports and accelerometer-determined moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) scores within matched samples across 1 school year. Participants were 998 fifth- through eighth-grade students who completed self-reports and 76 fifth- and…

Chen, Senlin; Welk, Gregory J.; Joens-Matre, Roxane R. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2014
As the prevalence of childhood obesity increases, it is important to examine possible differences in psychosocial correlates of physical activity between normal weight and overweight children. The study examined fatness (weight status) and (aerobic) fitness as Enabling factors related to youth physical activity within the Youth Physical Activity…

Liu, Wenhao; Nichols, Randall A.; Zillifro, Traci D. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2013
This study compared a three-year tracking of health-related physical fitness between two comparable samples of six graders that enrolled either in a PE4life middle school ("n"?=?154) or another school with a traditional PE program ("n?"=?93) in the United States. For the cohort, the FITNESSGRAM[TM] (Cooper Institute for…
