Castan, Alex; Opisso, Eloy; Chamarro, Andrés; Ginis, Kathleen A. Martin; Saurí, Joan – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
No Spanish-language tool exists to assess physical activity in people with spinal cord injuries. This work aimed to provide a valid Spanish version of the Physical Activity Recall Assessment for People with Spinal Cord Injury (PARA-SCI). It was conducted in three phases. First, translation and cross-cultural adaptation. Second, a reliability…

Bruijns, Brianne A.; Johnson, Andrew M.; Burke, Shauna M.; Tucker, Patricia – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2023
Early childhood educators (ECEs) play a vital role in encouraging healthy physical activity (PA) in childcare. As such, measuring ECEs' self-efficacy to facilitate such programming is important. The "ECE Confidence in Outdoor Movement, PA, and Sedentary and Screen Behaviors" (ECE-COMPASS) questionnaire (30 items) was developed via expert…
