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…

Jernej Pleša; Žiga Kozinc; Chris Bishop; Nejc Šarabon – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
We investigated the associations and differences between dynamic strength index (DSI) calculated from different types of vertical jump (countermovement jump; CMJ and squat jump; SJ) and different isometric knee joint angles (30, 60 and 90[degrees]), and associations with force-velocity (FV) profile and its constituent variables (maximal…

Lerma, Nicholas; Gulgin, Heather – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
This study evaluated the agreement between Kinect V2 with AssessLink and Vicon motion capture systems in children performing the vertical jump (JL) and forward leap (Leap). Eighteen healthy children (5-17 years) performed the movements while recorded simultaneously by both motion capture systems. Spearman correlation ([rho]) and Bland-Altman were…

Ren, Sicong; Chen, Zezhao; Qin, Xiong; Zhao, Xiaochen; Yang, Tim D.; Zhu, Weimo – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
The purpose of this study was to overview recent bone loading measurements in physical activity, determine their validity and reliability, and recommend future research directions. A systematic search in three major databases was performed using combinations from a set of keywords, and the identified studies were selected using predetermined…

Alt, Tobias; Knicker, Axel J.; Severin, Jannik; Horn, Dennis; Nodler, Yannick T.; Strüder, Heiko K. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
Many sports demand high forces at high movement speeds. Joint power combines these two measures and is frequently analyzed by isokinetic tests. However, various concepts of assessing joint power lead to conflicting results. The aim was to examine different methods to calculate peak power during isokinetic knee tests of sixty-one healthy male…

Stanton, Robert; Doering, Thomas M.; Macgregor, Campbell; Borges, Nattai; Delvecchio, Luke – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
Countermovement jump (CMJ) height is an important parameter in physical performance. This study compared CMJ height measured using ChronoJump contact mat (CJ) and Myotest accelerometer (MT) systems with a force platform (FP). Thirty recreationally active adults (32.1 ± 10.4 years, 75.9 ± 12.0 kg, 173.2 ± 6.3 cm) completed a CMJ protocol where…

Takeda, Kazuya; Tanabe, Shigeo; Koyama, Soichiro; Nagai, Tomoko; Sakurai, Hiroaki; Kanada, Yoshikiyo; Shomoto, Koji – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
The aim of this study was to clarify the intra- and inter-rater reliability of the rate of force development in hip abductor muscle force measurements using a hand-held dynamometer. Thirty healthy adults were separately assessed by two independent raters on two separate days. Rate of force development was calculated from the slope of the…

Scheuer, Claude; Bund, Andreas; Herrmann, Christian – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
Basic motor competencies (in German: Motorische Basiskompetenzen; MOBAK) are performance dispositions empowering children to participate in the movement culture. For the diagnosis of basic motor competencies, a test instrument consisting of 15 test items for assessing third graders' basic motor competencies was developed (MOBAK-LUX-3) and…

O'Donnell, Shannon; Tavares, Francisco; McMaster, Daniel; Chambers, Samuel; Driller, Matthew – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
The current study aimed to assess the validity and test-retest reliability of a linear position transducer when compared to a force plate through a counter-movement jump in female participants. Twenty-seven female recreational athletes (19 ± 2 years) performed three counter-movement jumps simultaneously using the linear position transducer and…

Bates, B. T.; Dufek, J. S.; James, C. R.; Harry, J. R.; Eggleston, J. D. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2016
We demonstrate the effect of sample and trial size on statistical outcomes for single-subject analyses (SSA) and group analyses (GA) for a frequently studied performance activity and common intervention. Fifty strides of walking data collected in two blocks of 25 trials for two shoe conditions were analyzed for samples of five, eight, 10, and 12…

Janssen, Xanne; Cliff, Dylan P. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2015
The use of objective measures of sedentary behavior has increased over the past decade; however, as is the case for objectively measured physical activity, methodological decisions before and after data collection are likely to influence the outcomes. The aim of this article is to review the evidence on different methodological decisions made by…

Schorer, Jorg; Weiss, Christel – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2007
Many methods for the identification of key variables in movement patterns have the problem that direct transferability back to coaches or players is not easy; this is because the variables used are not presented in the language of most sport participants. Using a research strategy--from the coaches back to the coaches--proposed by Roth (1996),…
