Direct linkTidén, Anna; Lundqvist, Carolina; Nyberg, Marie – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2015
This study presents the development process and initial validation of the NyTid test, a process-oriented movement assessment tool for compulsory school pupils. A sample of 1,260 (627 girls and 633 boys; mean age of 14.39) Swedish school children participated in the study. In the first step, exploratory factor analyses (EFAs) were performed in…

Liu, Wenhao; Nichols, Randall A.; Zillifro, Traci D. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2013
This study compared a three-year tracking of health-related physical fitness between two comparable samples of six graders that enrolled either in a PE4life middle school ("n"?=?154) or another school with a traditional PE program ("n?"=?93) in the United States. For the cohort, the FITNESSGRAM[TM] (Cooper Institute for…

Vlachopoulos, Symeon P.; Katartzi, Ermioni S.; Kontou, Maria G. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2013
The present study investigated the nomological validity of the Amotivation Inventory-Physical Education (Shen, Wingert, Li, Sun, & Rukavina, 2010b) scores by examining the associations of ability, effort, value, and task characteristics amotivation beliefs with self-determination theory variables. Data were collected from 401 fifth- and…

Zhu, Xihe; Sun, Haichun; Chen, Ang; Ennis, Catherine – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2012
Expectancy-Value Questionnaire (EVQ) measures student expectancy beliefs and task values of the domain content (Eccles & Wigfield, 1995). In this study the authors examine measurement invariance of EVQ in the domain of physical education between elementary and middle-school students. Participants included 811 students (3rd-5th grades) from 13…

Gao, Zan; Liu, Yuanlong; Lodewyk, Ken; Zhang, Tao; Kosma, Maria – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2011
The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of outcome likelihood, outcome value, and outcome expectancy using data collected from students in secondary school physical education classes. Dependent measures were examined for construct, concurrent, and predictive validity, as well as internal and temporal reliability. The…

Wright, Paul M.; Craig, Mark W. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2011
Numerous scholars have stressed the importance of personal and social responsibility in physical activity settings; however, there is a lack of instrumentation to study the implementation of responsibility-based teaching strategies. The development, content validity, and initial inter-rater reliability testing of the Tool for Assessing…

Arbour-Nicitopoulos, Kelly P.; Faulkner, Guy E.; Leatherdale, Scott T. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2010
The objective of this study was to examine the pattern of relations between missing weight and height (BMI) data and a range of demographic, physical activity, sedentary behavior, and academic measures in a young sample of elementary school children. A secondary analysis of a large cross-sectional study, PLAY-On, was conducted using self-reported…

McMinn, David; Rowe, David A.; Stark, Michelle; Nicol, Louise – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2010
Current interest in promoting physical activity in the school environment necessitates an inexpensive, accurate method of measuring physical activity in such settings. Additionally, it is recognized that physical activity must be of at least moderate intensity in order to yield substantial health benefits. The purpose of the study, therefore, was…
