This study aimed to develop and test MyPL, a questionnaire that measures self-reported physical literacy (PL) among children and adolescents. First, the item pool was developed and adapted, and face validity was tested with cognitive interviewing. Then, factor structures were identified through multidimensional scaling and exploratory factor…

Valenciano Valcárcel, Javier; Jiménez-Loaisa, Alejandro; Rieiro, Ignacio; Martínez-Martínez, Jesús – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
This study examines the convergent validity of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C) for assessing moderate-to-vigorous and total physical activity (PA) in school children. 430 participants (51.6% girls) aged 9-12 years provided valid accelerometer data (wGT3X-BT) and completed the PAQ-C. Convergent validity was assessed using…

Yunus Eme Tütüneken; Pinar Van Der Veer; Kübra Kardes; Yasemin Buran Çirak – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
Mindfulness is growing in popularity with the potential to improve many favorable health outcomes. Physical activity (PA) is crucial for improving health, however, there is no Turkish scale to measure mindfulness during PA. The purpose of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Turkish version of The State Mindfulness Scale…

Castan, Alex; Opisso, Eloy; Chamarro, Andrés; Ginis, Kathleen A. Martin; Saurí, Joan – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
No Spanish-language tool exists to assess physical activity in people with spinal cord injuries. This work aimed to provide a valid Spanish version of the Physical Activity Recall Assessment for People with Spinal Cord Injury (PARA-SCI). It was conducted in three phases. First, translation and cross-cultural adaptation. Second, a reliability…

Edwardson, Charlotte L.; Maylor, Benjamin D.; Dawkins, Nathan P.; Plekhanova, Tatiana; Rowlands, Alex V. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
The aim was to establish which postural and physical activity outcomes are comparable across different accelerometer brands worn on the thigh when processed using open-source methods. Twenty participants wore four accelerometers (Axivity, ActiGraph, activPAL, GENEActiv) for three free-living days. Postural and physical activity outputs (average…

Lopes, Marcus V. V.; da Costa, Bruno G. G.; Malheiros, Luís E. A.; Carvalho, Humberto M.; Crochemore-Silva, Inácio; Silva, Kelly S. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
This study examined the within- and between-day variability of time-segmented sedentary behavior (SB), light physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in adolescents. The sample comprised 154 adolescents (11-16 years old) from two public schools in Florianópolis, Brazil. The proportion of time spent in SB, LPA, and…

The purpose of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Power Walker® 610(PW) pedometer for step counting in children. The study sample was composed of 30 boys and 22 girls, from 8-13 years old. Participants were equipped with both a PW and a Digiwalker® SW-200(DW) pedometers and walked 400 m around an outdoor athletic track…

Kuzik, Nicholas; Naylor, Patti-Jean; Spence, John C.; Carson, Valerie – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
This study examined the associations of parental movement behaviors (MBs; sleep, stationary time, light-intensity physical activity [LPA], and moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity [MVPA]) and parent-child proximity with preschool-aged children's MBs. Parent-child MBs and proximity were assessed with Bluetooth-enabled accelerometers.…

Kastelic, Kaja; Šarabon, Nejc – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
Self-reports are commonly used tools for obtaining sedentary behaviors. The aim of our study was to assess agreement between two self-reports of sedentary time and a gold standard sedentary time objective monitor. A worksite sample (n = 42) completed the Slovenian version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), the Slovenian version…

Kuzik, Nicholas; Carson, Valerie – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of a novel technique determining parent-child proximity using Bluetooth-enabled accelerometers. Nineteen parents and children (18-60 months; 38.4 ± 13.2 months) wore an ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometer for 7 days. Parental accelerometers continuously emitted a Bluetooth signal, while children's…
