The agreement between a wearable inertial sensor (GYKO, G) and the force platform (P) was assessed by evaluating "test-retest" and "inter-rater reliability." Thirty-eight subjects were enrolled; the selected indices of balance were investigated over foot positions and (un)stable conditions. Intraclass correlation coefficient…

The purpose was to evaluate reliability of measurements during drop jump (DJ) and magnitude of differences in vertical jump height (VJH) when calculated using two variables: time-in-the-air and center-of-mass velocity. Thirty-seven handball players performed three single-leg and double-leg DJs on a portable force plate during two sessions. Sixteen…

Isabella Toledo Caetano; Valter Paulo Neves Miranda; Fernanda Rocha de Faria; Cheryl Anne Howe; Paulo Roberto dos Santos Amorim – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
Latent Class Analysis (LCA) is a statistical method that can help researchers interested in better understanding the movement behaviors (MB) of children, based on the analysis of the level of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST). This study aimed to evaluate and compare two models LCA (one for the accelerometer and one for the 24-hour…

Kozinc, Ziga; Smajla, Darjan; Trajkovic, Nebojsa; Sarabon, Nejc – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
This study aimed to assess intra- and inter-visit reliability of a novel EasyForce dynamometer for assessment of maximal strength in knee extension and flexion, and hip abduction and adduction tasks. Young healthy participants (n = 50; 25 males, 25 females; age: 23.4 ± 2.1 years) were measured for maximal joint torque with EasyForce dynamometer…

Coyle-Asbil, Hannah J.; Ma, David W. L.; Vallis, Lori Ann – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
This study explored (1) the effect of applying an autocalibration algorithm on accelerometer data analyzed using different signal processing techniques and (2) how these techniques changed the signal composition. Using a dataset of preschoolers (n = 137; 4.31 ± 0.87 years; Actigraph accelerometers (100 Hz) on right hip 24 hours/7 days) the vector…

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…

Edwardson, Charlotte L.; Maylor, Benjamin D.; Dawkins, Nathan P.; Plekhanova, Tatiana; Rowlands, Alex V. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
The aim was to establish which postural and physical activity outcomes are comparable across different accelerometer brands worn on the thigh when processed using open-source methods. Twenty participants wore four accelerometers (Axivity, ActiGraph, activPAL, GENEActiv) for three free-living days. Postural and physical activity outputs (average…

Krkeljas, Zarko; Engelbrecht, Louise; Terblanche, Elmarie – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
Accurate assessment of resting metabolic rate (RMR) is necessary for calorie-based recommendations in diet and exercise training interventions. BodyMetrix™ is an ultrasound-based device that provides an estimate of RMR based on body composition, but has not been proven valid or reliable. Therefore, we evaluated the agreement between Katch-McArdle…

Bridge, Aaron D.; Brown, Joseph; Snider, Hayden; Rowan, Shannon N.; Skelly, Lauren E.; Josse, Andrea R. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
Body composition (BC) is a valuable indicator of health and performance. Air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) is a popular, efficient, and reliable method for assessing BC. A-mode ultrasonography (AUS) is another method, and its affordability, mobility, and practicality make it a plausible device for industry and health professionals. This study…

Kastelic, Kaja; Šarabon, Nejc – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
Self-reports are commonly used tools for obtaining sedentary behaviors. The aim of our study was to assess agreement between two self-reports of sedentary time and a gold standard sedentary time objective monitor. A worksite sample (n = 42) completed the Slovenian version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), the Slovenian version…

Janz, Kathleen F.; Baptista, Fatima; Ren, Sicong; Zhu, Weimo; Laurson, Kelly R.; Mahar, Matthew T.; Pavlovic, Andjelka; Welk, Gregory J. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
This study summarized protocols in the "Lisbon Study for the Development and Evaluation of Musculoskeletal Fitness Standards in Youth" and assessed associations between fitness assessments and health outcomes. The sample was 529 children and adolescents (10 to 18 yr). The fitness assessments included handgrip, vertical jump, long jump,…
