Direct linkCemre Yaren Güngörenler; Tülay Tarsuslu – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
The aim of this study is to investigate the test-retest reliability of the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) and modified-CKCUEST in children aged 7-10 years and to compare the two test versions within the same group. The study was completed with fifty-three children. Average, normalized, and power scores were obtained…

Daniel González-Devesa; José Carlos Diz-Gómez; Miguel Adriano Sanchez-Lastra; Aroa Otero Rodríguez; Carlos Ayán-Pérez – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
The aim of this study is to examine the available scientific evidence on the reliability and criterion validity of 6-minute run walk field-based test when administered to children and adolescents. Systematic searches were performed in three electronic databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, SPORTDiscuss and Scopus) from their inception until February 2024,…

Pérez-Castilla, Alejandro; Fernandes, John F. T.; Rojas, F. Javier; García-Ramos, Amador – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
This study explored the influence of different take-off thresholds on the reliability and magnitude of countermovement jump (CMJ) performance variables. Twenty-three men were tested on two separate sessions. CMJ performance variables were obtained against three external loads (0.5-30-60 kg) using three take-off thresholds: 10 N (arbitrary value of…

Peter Elsborg; Paulina S. Melby; Mette Kurtzhals; Helene Kirkegaard; Johannes Carl; Steffen Rask; Peter Bentsen; Glen Nielsen – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
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…

Yildiz, Mehmet; Fidan, Ugur – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
The aim of this investigation was to assess the reliability and validity of the Fitjump system. Fifty-seven participants (age = 22.62 [plus or minus] 5.24 years, height = 180.69 [plus or minus]12.53 cm, body mass = 75.61 [plus or minus] 9.56 kg) performed three countermovement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ) with a 1-week interval for test and…

Belhaidas, Mohammed B.; Dahoune, Oumri; Eather, Narelle; Oukebdane, Mohammed Anis – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
This study investigated the objectivity, reliability, and the validity of the Basketball Throw Test (BTT) as an upper-body muscular strength measure. Participants (33 boys and 32 girls; mean age = 8.75 ± 1.47) performed the BTT on 2 occasions (1-week apart), and the hand-grip test as criterion measure. The objectivity and reliability were…

Ren, Sicong; Chen, Zezhao; Qin, Xiong; Zhao, Xiaochen; Yang, Tim D.; Zhu, Weimo – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
The purpose of this study was to overview recent bone loading measurements in physical activity, determine their validity and reliability, and recommend future research directions. A systematic search in three major databases was performed using combinations from a set of keywords, and the identified studies were selected using predetermined…

Stearns, Jodie A.; Wohlers, Brendan; McHugh, Tara-Leigh F.; Kuzik, Nicholas; Spence, John C. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
The reliability and validity of the PLAY"fun" and PLAY"basic" tools were assessed. The PLAY"fun", PLAY"basic", Canadian Agility and Movement Skill Assessment (CAMSA) obstacle course, and Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C) were administered to children (aged 8-14 years) in two remote…

Makaruk, Hubert; Porter, Jared M.; Cieslinski, Igor – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
This study examined the test-retest reliability of the standing long jump (SLJ) and the countermovement jump (CMJ) following consistent and non-consistent attentional focus cuing instructions in physically active young adults (n = 30). The systematic error (as standardize change in mean), random error (as typical error), the Bland and Altman…

Talukdar, Kaushik; Harrison, Craig; McGuigan, Mike – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
The radar gun is a valid and practically feasible tool to measure sprinting speed and kinetics among athletes. However, its reliability in youth populations, particularly females, is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the intraday and inter-day reliability of sprinting kinetics using a radar gun to measure force ("Fo"),…

Buchan, Duncan S.; Boddy, Lynne M.; McLellan, Gillian – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
This study evaluated agreement in activity outcomes from ActiGraph accelerometers worn on both wrists in a laboratory and free-living setting. Part 1: Thirty-seven participants (25.5 ± 10.5 years) completed laboratory activities. Part 2: Thirty-nine participants (28.5 ± 9.8 years) wore accelerometers for 7 days. Outcomes included average…

Rogers, Simon A.; Hassmén, Peter; Hunter, Adam; Alcock, Alison; Crewe, Stewart T.; Strauts, Janina A.; Gilleard, Wendy L.; Weissensteiner, Juanita R. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of jump assessments using the "MyJump2" application. Eleven junior athletes (15 ± 1.4 years) performed five countermovement (CMJ) and drop jumps (DJ) measured simultaneously by a force platform and "MyJump2." Additionally, intra- and inter-day reliability was assessed over…

Chiu, Loren Z. F.; Daehlin, Torstein E. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
Males (n = 29) and females (n = 34) performed vertical jumps. Jump height was estimated from force platform data using five numerical methods and compared using intraclass correlation ([rho]), and linear and rank regression standard error of estimate ("SEE"). Take-off velocity plus center of mass height at take-off and mechanical work…
