The measurement of resistance training (RT) is often based on adaptations of aerobic physical activity measures which may not contain the elements necessary to assess RT. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine what measures are used to assess RT and appraise their composition. Specifically, the inclusion of frequency, duration,…

Qin, Xiong; Zhu, Weimo; Zhu, Lin; Liu, Jingxin; Liao, Jing – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
To convert accelerometer-based devices onto the same scale, a platform called Monitor-Independent Movement Summary (MIMS) was created and used in national studies. Yet, its physical activity (PA) intensity cutoff scores have not been established, making it less useful. This study was to link MIMS with the ActiGraph Count, known as "the…

Jaime Barratt; Dean Dudley; Michalis Stylianou; George Thomas; Kai Wheeler; John Cairney – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
This study evaluated the reliability and construct validity of the 51-item Effective Early Childhood Physical Literacy Pedagogue self-report instrument (ECE-PLP) measuring Early Childhood Educators' (ECEs) perceived physical literacy (PPL) capabilities, knowledge, and practices for effectively promoting PL in young children. 494 ECEs completed the…

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…

Welk, Gregory J. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2008
The emphasis in public health on lifestyle physical activity in recent years has focused attention on the promotion of lifetime physical activity as the primary objective of physical education. If used properly, physical activity and physical fitness assessments can enhance individual promotion of physical activity and also provide valuable…

Silverman, Stephen; Keating, Xiaofen Deng; Phillips, Sharon R. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2008
This article addresses ways in which fitness tests can be used positively in physical education. We take the position throughout the article that fitness tests should be used as formative evaluation to further educational goals. We begin by discussing the different ways in which adults and children use fitness tests. The next section, the heart of…

Welk, Gregory J.; Schaben, Jodee A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2004
Children's daily physical activity patterns are influenced by many factors outside of their immediate control (e.g., school, parents' availability, time allowed outdoors). Because all children do not have an equal opportunity to participate in physical activity, investigating the relationship of psychosocial variables and actual voluntary activity…

Scruggs, Philip W.; Beveridge, Sandy K.; Clocksin, Brian D. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2005
The relation and agreement of tri-axial accelerometry and heart rate telemetry in measuring moderate to vigorous physical activity were examined in association to behavioral observation during 1st- and 2nd-grade physical education. In Study 1, physical activity measures of heart rate and behavioral observation were collected on 346 participants…
