Direct linkClevenger, Kimberly A.; Pfeiffer, Karin A.; Montoye, Alexander H. K. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
Free-living comparability of wGT3X-BT and GT9X ActiGraphs has not been verified. Participants (n = 34, 35% females, 7-17 y) wore hip-worn monitors for one week. Vector magnitude (VM; 15-s epoch), Mean Amplitude Deviation (MAD) and Euclidean Norm Minus One (ENMO) (5-s epoch), and percent of time spent in each activity intensity (using cut-points)…

Bateman, Andre; Myers, Nicholas D.; Chen, Sisi; Lee, Seungmin – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
Self-efficacy is a psychosocial determinant of physical activity in adults. Different scales have been used to measure physical activity self-efficacy. This review examines the theoretical and measurement quality of scales measuring physical activity self-efficacy in physical activity-promoting interventions. The search strategy was based on the…

Lins-Filho, Ozeas L.; Santos, Tony M.; Ritti-Dias, Raphael M.; Damasceno, Vinícius O.; Ferreira, Daniela K. S. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2019
Background: Self-selected exercise intensity (SSEI) promotes higher affect (pleasure) during exercise, but its reliability is still unclear. Purpose: to evaluate the test-retest reliability and the minimum detectable change of the perceptive and physiological responses in two sessions of SSEI on treadmill in elderly women. Method: Twenty elderly…

Palesh, Oxana; Oakley-Girvan, Ingrid; Richardson, Amanda; Nelson, Lorene M.; Clark, Rich; Hancock, Jeffrey; Acle, Carlos; Lavista, Juan M.; Miller, Yasamin; Gore-Felton, Cheryl – Journal of College Student Psychotherapy, 2022
From October to December 2016, a college sample (n = 536) of men (41%) and women (59%) 18 to 41 years old (M = 20.2 SD = 3.02) completed self-report surveys that assessed mental and behavioral health using a novel, mobile app called SHAPE. Multiple methods (e.g., flyers, face-to-face, e-mail, listservs) were used to recruit students. Almost half…

In this study, it was aimed to determine the negative effect of different types of exercise on ovarian reserve of sedentary women. A total of 40 sedentary women who met the criteria for admission to work were categorized as aerobic exercise (AE; n:20; age: 33.0±2.0 years old) and strength exercise (SE; n:20; age: 32.7±2.1 years old) groups.…

Nelson, Megan C.; Taylor, Katie; Vella, Chantal A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
The aim of this study was to investigate differences between estimates of sedentary behavior and physical activity (PA) from the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and accelerometry in undergraduate students. 91 students participated in the study. Sedentary behavior and PA were objectively measured by an accelerometer for 7 days…

Alpullu, Aytekin; Demir, Gökalp – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2019
The simplest and easiest type of physical activity for a healthy individual is walking. Development of technology day by day brought along inactivity and related diseases. The purpose of exercise is to prevent and slow down diseases caused by a sedentary lifestyle. The aim of the study is to reveal the effect of walking on body composition of the…

Flom, Megan; Cohen, Madeleine; Saudino, Kimberly J. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2017
The Theory of Optimal Stimulation (Zentall & Zentall, "Psychological Bulletin," 94, 1983, 446) posits that the relation between activity level (AL) and cognitive performance follows an inverted U shape where midrange AL predicts better cognitive performance than AL at the extremes. We explored this by fitting linear and quadratic…

Gümüs, Mustafa; Tutkun, Erkut – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2018
The aim of this study is to examine the association between physical fitness and 2D:4D finger ratio of high school students engaged actively in sports. 23 licensed male athletes and 23 sedentary (n=46) high school students participated in the study voluntarily. The participants age, body weight, body mass index, 2D:4D finger measurement values…

Saunders, Ruth P.; Pfeiffer, Karin; Brown, William H.; Howie, Erin K.; Dowda, Marsha; O'Neill, Jennifer R.; McIver, Kerry; Pate, Russell R. – Health Education & Behavior, 2017
This study investigated the utility of the Study of Health and Activity in Preschool Environments (SHAPES) conceptual model, which targeted physical activity (PA) behavior in preschool children, by examining the relationship between implementation monitoring data and child PA during the school day. We monitored implementation completeness and…

Dargavel, Meagan; Robertson-Wilson, Jennifer; Bryden, Pamela J. – Physical Educator, 2017
Background: Throughout secondary school in Ontario, PE is offered with the goal of students developing "the skills and knowledge they require to participate in physical activities throughout their lives" (Ontario Ministry of Education 1999a, p. 2). Despite the curricular goals of PE, little research has been conducted on the effects of…

Lau, Erica Y.; Dowda, Marsha; McIver, Kerry L.; Pate, Russell R. – Journal of School Health, 2017
Background: We examined longitudinal changes in children's physical activity during the school day, afterschool, and evening across fifth, sixth, and seventh grades. Methods: The analytical sample included children who had valid accelerometer data in fifth grade and at least one other time-point, and provided complete sociodemographic information…

Nettlefold, Lindsay; Naylor, P. J.; Warburton, Darren E. R.; Bredin, Shannon S. D.; Race, Douglas; McKay, Heather A. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2016
Purpose: Patterns of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time, including volume of bouted activity, are important health indicators. However, the effect of accelerometer epoch length on measurement of these patterns and associations with health outcomes in children remain unknown. Method: We measured activity patterns in 308 children (52% girls,…

Belton, Sarahjane; Prior, Paul; Wickel, Eric; Woods, Catherine – European Physical Education Review, 2017
Extra-curricular physical activity (ECPA) may have an important role to play in the health and well-being of adolescents, but the actual benefits are relatively unknown. This study examined ECPA participation amongst adolescent males (age 12-15 years) from disadvantaged backgrounds, and evaluated its impact on overall physical activity (PA)…

Breslin, Gavin; Shannon, Stephen; Fitzpatrick, Ben; Hanna, Donncha; Belton, Sarahjane; Brennan, Deirdre – Child Care in Practice, 2017
Need-supportive environments have been shown to predict children's physical activity levels, and in a few cases to well-being. Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT), this cross-sectional study aimed to determine the influence of psychological need (competence and social relatedness) satisfaction on physical activity levels and well-being in…
