The Adult-Oriented Sport Coaching Survey (AOSCS) is a valid and reliable measure of coaches' and Masters athletes' perspectives of how often adult-oriented coaching practices are used. However, Masters athletes' heterogenous traits have been acknowledged as barriers to generalizing research findings on coaching behaviors. Therefore, this study…

The Interpersonal Behaviors Questionnaire (IBQ) in Sport assesses athlete perceptions of coach interpersonal behaviors that support or thwart athletes' basic psychological needs. While different sources of validity evidence for responses to the IBQ have been provided for adults, only validity evidence for relations to other variables has been…

The objective of the present research is to examine the factor structure of the Interpersonal Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ) and the Interpersonal Behavior Self Questionnaire (IBQ-Self) in the sport context. Confirmatory factor analyses were used to assess the psychometric properties and measurement invariance across sex and sports. For the IBQ, a…

This study compared the weekly training load (TL) variation across different measures. Fifty-two runners reported their heart rate and distance ran for each training session during four weeks of training. Heart rate measures were used to calculate the weekly TRaining IMPulse (W-TRIMP), whereas the distance ran was used to calculate the weekly…

Upper body force-velocity profiles to assess musculoskeletal performance are created using release speed (RS) of the barbell in a bench press throw (BPT). A more easily obtained variable is peak speed (PS) measured by a linear position transducer. We assessed the validity of predicting RS from measured PS. One hundred and seventy-eight throws from…

This study aimed to analyze the intrasession reliability of the rate of force development (RFD) in different time windows in squat jumps (SJ) performed at different knee starting angles, and identify the relationship of RFD with vertical jump height (VJH). Twenty male volleyball and basketball players participated. Athletes randomly performed SJ…

The purpose of the current paper is to provide a step-by-step tutorial for employing the list experiment to control for Social Desirability Bias (SDB). Sport management scholars routinely rely on self-report data in cross-sectional settings to test research hypotheses. However, concerns exist regarding the use of self-reports without adjusting for…

The aim of this study was to examine the trends in Olympic Games (OLY) and World Long Course Championships (WLC) across three performance categories (1st-3rd, 4th-8th and 9th-16th), and to make predictions for the 2024 OLY. Top 16 rankings were obtained for all OLY and WLC competitions between 2011 and 2019. Linear regression and forecasting…

Common method variance refers to the amount of uncontrolled systematic error leading to biased estimates of scale reliability and validity and to spurious covariance shared among variables due to common method and/or common source employed in survey-based researches. As the extended use of self-report questionnaires is inevitable, numerous studies…

The aim was to determine the validity and test-retest reliability of the Sit to Stand App variables (rising time, vertical velocity, and power) for measuring single-leg sit-to-stand (STS) test compared to those derived from ground reaction force data. Twenty-seven female athletes performed the single-leg STS test over three consecutive sessions…

Anaerobic capacity is an important determinant of swimming performance, and a feasible land-based test for measuring swim-specific anaerobic capacity is lacking. This study assessed the test-retest reliability of a swim-specific modification of the Wingate anaerobic capacity test: the WAnT-Swim. Ten competitive and fitness swimmers from the local…

This study investigates the predictive validity of lower extremity strength, strength asymmetry, and soccer-specific fitness in talent identification among elite male youth soccer players. Employing a Retrospective Cohort design, we established a cohort consisting of K-League registered youth players, totaling 219 individuals (all males, aged 16…

Purpose: The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a summary of Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (MPEES)-related activities in 2021. Manuscripts submitted: In 2021 original submissions (i.e., not counting revised manuscripts) increased by [approximately]20% as compared to 2020. Fifty-eight countries were represented across…

We examined the sources and role of coaching efficacy in coaching interest among female and male collegiate students majoring in sport sciences and physical education in Japan. We also examined the factor structure of a Japanese version of the coaching efficacy scale (CES-Japanese), and its measurement invariance between genders. This study…

The present study aimed to validate the Chinese version of the Tendency to Avoid Physical Activity and Sport Scale (TAPAS) among university students living in Hong Kong to assess weight and body image concerns. A convenience sample of 787 students (63.5% females; 24.5% overweight) were recruited online. The factor structure of the scale was…
