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…

Martin, Eric M.; True, Larissa; Pfeiffer, Karin A.; Siegel, Shannon R.; Branta, Crystal F.; Wisner, Dave; Haubenstricker, John; Seefeldt, Vern – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
Research tracking sport participation from youth to adulthood is relatively rare, as is research that tracks youth sport participation with regard to adult physical activity (PA) levels, especially in the United States. Aims of this study were: 1) To investigate the degree to which sport participation tracked across youth, adolescence, and early…

Webb, Carrie; Vehrs, Pat R.; George, James D.; Hager, Ronald – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2014
The purpose of this study was to develop a step test with a personalized step rate and step height to predict cardiorespiratory fitness in 80 college-aged males and females using the self-reported perceived functional ability scale and data collected during the step test. Multiple linear regression analysis yielded a model (R = 0.90, SEE = 3.43…

Cremades, J. Gualberto; Wated, Guillermo; Wiggins, Matthew S. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2011
The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether combining the two dimensions of anxiety (i.e., intensity and direction) by using a multiplicative model would strengthen the prediction of burnout. Collegiate athletes (N = 157) completed the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire as well as a trait version of the Competitive State Anxiety…

Nielson, David E.; George, James D.; Vehrs, Pat R.; Hager, Ron L.; Webb, Carrie V. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2010
The purpose of this study was to develop a multiple linear regression model to predict treadmill VO[subscript 2max] scores using both exercise and non-exercise data. One hundred five college-aged participants (53 male, 52 female) successfully completed a submaximal cycle ergometer test and a maximal graded exercise test on a motorized treadmill.…

Myers, Nicholas D.; Paiement, Craig A.; Feltz, Deborah L. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2007
The purpose of this study was to determine to what degree collective efficacy judgments based on summative team performance capabilities exhibited different levels of prediction for three additive intervals of team performance in women's ice hockey. Collective efficacy beliefs of 12 teams were assessed prior to Friday's game and Saturday's game…
