Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Samuel D'Emanuele; Francesca Nardello; Fabrizio Garau; Diego Campaci; Federico Schena; Cantor Tarperi – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
The agreement between a wearable inertial sensor (GYKO, G) and the force platform (P) was assessed by evaluating "test-retest" and "inter-rater reliability." Thirty-eight subjects were enrolled; the selected indices of balance were investigated over foot positions and (un)stable conditions. Intraclass correlation coefficient…

Reliability and Validity of a Digital Goniometer for Measuring Knee Joint Range of Motion
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lind, Veronika; Svensson, Melanie; Harringe, Marita L. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
Goniometry is commonly used to evaluate joint range of motion (ROM). The most widespread method, a manual universal goniometer (UG), is considered time-consuming and difficult to handle. The digital goniometer EasyAngle (EA) was developed to improve and simplify the evaluation of ROM. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of EA…

Validity Evidence for a Daily, Online-Delivered, Adapted Version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF)
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
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…

Validation of Fitness Switching Costs Scale (FSCS): Examining the Factor Structure and Measurement Precision
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kim, Kyungyeol; Lee, Senyung – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
The purpose of the study is to validate the 54-item Fitness Switching Costs Scale (FSCS). The FSCS consists of a third-order formative construct with four second-order formative constructs and 11 first-order reflective constructs. Although there was support for the reliability and validity of higher-order constructs, validity of the 11 first-order…

Pennell, Adam; Patey, Matthew; Fisher, Jenna; Brian, Ali – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
Falls are a significant medical and economical concern worldwide. Younger individuals with visual impairment (VI) may be more susceptible to falling and fall-related injuries when compared to peers without a VI. Self-perceived balance confidence is a psychological construct that may predict and/or mediate fall- or other health-related outcomes in…
