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…

Tanaka, Rumi; Yakushiji, Kanako; Tanaka, Satomi; Tsubaki, Michihiro; Fujita, Kimie – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
This study aimed to review the validity and/or reliability of light-intensity physical activity (LPA) questionnaires and identify the most suitable questionnaires for measurement of LPA in adults. Following the PRISMA-P 2020 guidelines, we searched MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, and MedNar. Only studies that targeted adults [greater…

Clevenger, 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)…

Pacewicz, Christine E.; Hill, Christopher R.; Karlinsky, April; Samendinger, Stephen – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
Social physique anxiety is commonly examined in exercise science to understand individuals' physical activity motivation and behavior. Although a 12-item and 9-item version of the Social Physique Anxiety Scale exists, a 7-item version has become a popular tool to measure this construct despite the need to further examine its measurement…

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…

Dlugonski, Deirdre; Wood, Aaron P.; DuBose, Katrina D.; Rider, Patrick; Schoemann, Alexander M. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
Introduction: This study examined the concurrent validity and inter-pair reliability of the proximity detection function on Bluetooth-enabled accelerometers across manufacturer-specified ranges. If valid, this method could be used for objectively measuring shared physical activity participation. Method: Thirty-six dyads aged 21.6 (2.1) years wore…

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…

Kang, Minsoo; Rowe, David A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2015
Previous research has shown the negative impact of sedentary behavior on health, including cardiovascular risk factors, chronic disease-related morbidity, and mortality. Accurate measurement of sedentary behavior is thus important to plan effective interventions and to inform public health messages. This article (a) provides an overview of the…

Meir, Gily; Hutchinson, Jasmin C.; Habeeb, Christine M.; Boiangin, Nataniel M.; Shaffer, Cory; Basevitch, Itay; Tenenbaum, Gershon – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2015
Two studies examined the trustworthiness of commonly used measurement scales for ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) and state attentional focus (SAF) during exercise. In Study 1, participants (N = 24, 14 female) performed a treadmill graded-exercise test. The order of scale presentation during the task was manipulated (i.e., RPE followed by SAF…

Sharma, Shreela V.; Chuang, Ru-Jye; Skala, Katherine; Atteberry, Heather – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2011
The purpose of this study is describe the initial feasibility, reliability, and validity of an instrument to measure physical activity in preschoolers using direct observation. The System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time for Preschoolers was developed and tested among 3- to 6-year-old children over fall 2008 for feasibility and reliability…

Scruggs, Philip W.; Mungen, Jonathan D.; Oh, Yoonsin – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2010
The primary objective of this research was to quantify the recommended minimum level (i.e., 50% of the class time) of moderate to vigorous physical activity within high school physical education via pedometry steps/min. A secondary objective was to explore the influence of lesson duration (i.e., traditional vs. block schedules) on quantifying…

Simpson, Rhianna Parker; Cronin, John – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2006
Drop jumping has previously been used to measure fast stretch shorten cycle (SSC) ability and stretch load tolerance. To the knowledge of these authors a test does not exist to achieve this in the horizontal direction. The purpose of this study therefore was to estimate the reliability of a new unilateral horizontal leg power test to assess these…

Boslaugh, Sarah E.; Kreuter, Matthew W.; Weaver, Nancy L.; Naleid, Kimberly S.; Brownson, Ross C. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2005
This study examined the effect of including workplace physical activity in calculating the proportion of adults meeting Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for physical activity. Data on leisure-time and workplace activity were collected from 1,090 Black and White adults in St. Louis, MO. A series of assumptions were used to equate…

Masse, Louise C.; Eason, Karen E.; Tortolero, Susan R.; Kelder, Steven H. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2005
This study assessed agreement between participants' rating (PMET) and compendium coding (CMET) of estimating physical activity intensity in a population of older minority women. As part of the Women on the Move study, 224 women completed a 7-day activity diary and wore an accelerometer for 7 days. All activities recorded were coded using PMET and…
