Crotty, Nora May; Boland, Marie; Mahony, Nick; Donne, Bernard; Fleming, Neil – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
This study evaluated the reliability of the portable Lactate Pro 2 analyzer (LP2), and its validity compared to a laboratory-based analyzer, YSI 1500 Sport (YSI). Blood samples (n = 258) were collected during 44 graded incremental rowing tests, with data from 17 tests used to quantify load, heart rate, and oxygen consumption at lactate threshold.…

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…

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…

Martín-San Agustín, Rodrigo; Benítez-Martínez, Josep C.; Castillo-Ballesta, Lorenzo; Gacto-Sánchez, Mariano; Medina-Mirapeix, Francesc – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
Many professionals use the handheld dynamometers (HHDs) to assess isometric strength. This study aimed to evaluate the validity, reliability, and sensitivity to change of a DiCI (a new HHD) for the strength measurement of knee and hip muscles and their ratios. Thirty-five recreational athletes completed quadriceps, hamstring, and hip adductors and…

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…

Zhang, Tan; Chen, Ang – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2017
Based on the job demands-resources model, the study developed and validated an instrument that measures physical education teachers' job demands-resources perception. Expert review established content validity with the average item rating of 3.6/5.0. Construct validity and reliability were determined with a teacher sample (n = 397). Exploratory…

Murphy, Joseph J.; Murphy, Marie H.; MacDonncha, Ciaran; Murphy, Niamh; Nevill, Alan M.; Woods, Catherine B. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2017
The purpose of this study was to compare the validity and reliability of three short physical activity self-report instruments to determine their potential for use with university student populations. The participants (N = 155; 44.5% male; 22.9 ± 5.13 years) wore an accelerometer for 9 consecutive days and completed a single-item measure, the a…

Ullrich-French, Sarah; Cox, Anne; Cole, Amy; Rhoades Cooper, Brittany; Gotch, Chad – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2017
Experiencing mindfulness during movement-based interventions (e.g., yoga) may help support adaptive physical activity motivation processes in youth. However, there is currently no measure for assessing state mindfulness with youth within the context of physical activity. The purpose of this study was to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate a…

Leung, Ka Man; Chung, Pak-Kwong; Ransdell, Lynda B.; Gao, Yong – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2016
We examined psychometric properties of a Modified Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (MPAQ-C). Thirty-two parents (Study 1), 40 students (6-9 years) and one of each student's parents (Study 2), and 625 parents (Study 3) completed the MPAQ-C. The MPAQ-C (six items) measured children's physical activity (PA) after school, and during…
