Physical activity (PA) promotion is an ideal intervention target for public health because it has the potential to help individuals feel better, sleep better, and perform daily tasks more easily, in addition to providing disease prevention benefits. There is strong evidence that individual-level theory-based behavioral interventions are effective…

Lopes, Marcus V. V.; da Costa, Bruno G. G.; Malheiros, Luís E. A.; Carvalho, Humberto M.; Crochemore-Silva, Inácio; Silva, Kelly S. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
This study examined the within- and between-day variability of time-segmented sedentary behavior (SB), light physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in adolescents. The sample comprised 154 adolescents (11-16 years old) from two public schools in Florianópolis, Brazil. The proportion of time spent in SB, LPA, and…

Kim, Heontae; Kang, Minsoo – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of a tailored domain-specific intervention using contextual information about sedentary behavior to reduce sedentary time. A total of 40 participants (i.e., general adults) were randomly assigned to three groups (i.e., tailored domain-specific intervention, standard intervention and control).…

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…

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…

Welk, Gregory J. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2008
The emphasis in public health on lifestyle physical activity in recent years has focused attention on the promotion of lifetime physical activity as the primary objective of physical education. If used properly, physical activity and physical fitness assessments can enhance individual promotion of physical activity and also provide valuable…
