Linking MIMS with ActiGraph Count: An Equating Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Qin, Xiong; Zhu, Weimo; Zhu, Lin; Liu, Jingxin; Liao, Jing – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
To convert accelerometer-based devices onto the same scale, a platform called Monitor-Independent Movement Summary (MIMS) was created and used in national studies. Yet, its physical activity (PA) intensity cutoff scores have not been established, making it less useful. This study was to link MIMS with the ActiGraph Count, known as "the…

André G. Bateman; Nicholas D. Myers; Deborah Feltz; Karin A. Pfeiffer; Kimberly Kelly; Alan L. Smith; Seungmin Lee; Adam McMahon; Isaac Prilleltensky; Ora Prilleltensky; Ahnalee M. Brincks – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
The purpose of this study was to explore the validity of evidence for self-efficacy to regulate physical activity scale (SERPA) measurement using an exploratory latent variable approach. The objectives were to explore the dimensionality, temporal invariance, and external validity of scores produced by the SERPA, a modified version of the barriers…

Myers, Nicholas D.; Lee, Seungmin; Bateman, André G.; Wekesser, Meredith; Prilleltensky, Isaac; McMahon, Adam; Brincks, Ahnalee M. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
The objective of this study was to provide initial validity evidence for responses to the newly developed Well-Being Actions Self-Efficacy (WBASE) scale from adults with obesity under an exploratory latent variable approach. Longitudinal data (N[subscript baseline] = 667 and N[subscript 30 days post-baseline] = 550) from the Well-Being and…

Measuring Multidimensional Well-Being Actions with the Newly Expanded Version of the I COPPE Actions Scale in Adults with Obesity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lee, Seungmin; Myers, Nicholas D.; Bateman, André G.; Chun, Haeyong; Prilleltensky, Isaac; McMahon, Adam; Brincks, Ahnalee M. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
The objective of this study was to provide initial validity evidence for responses to the newly expanded version of the I COPPE Actions scale from adults with obesity under an exploratory latent variable approach. Longitudinal data from the 2018 Fun For Wellness Effectiveness Trial (ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT03194854) were reanalyzed in…

Handgrip Strength Cut-Points for Cardiometabolic Risk Identification in U.S. Younger Population
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
DeHondt, Benjamin G.; Madi, Samar A.; Drignei, Dorin; Buchan, Duncan S.; Brown, Elise C. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
Identification of cardiometabolic risk (CMR) in U.S. younger population by assessing muscular strength via handgrip (HG) dynamometry may aid in prevention efforts. Currently, no nationally representative HG cut-points are available for identifying increased CMR in U.S. adolescents or young adults. In this study, we propose normalized grip strength…

Testing the Youth Physical Activity Promotion Model: Fatness and Fitness as Enabling Factors
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chen, Senlin; Welk, Gregory J.; Joens-Matre, Roxane R. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2014
As the prevalence of childhood obesity increases, it is important to examine possible differences in psychosocial correlates of physical activity between normal weight and overweight children. The study examined fatness (weight status) and (aerobic) fitness as Enabling factors related to youth physical activity within the Youth Physical Activity…
