Direct linkTid̩n, Anna; Lundqvist, Carolina; Nyberg, Marie РMeasurement 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, Jing Dong; Chung, Pak Kwong – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2014
The current study presents the development process and initial validation of a measure designed for assessing psychological needs satisfaction in a secondary school physical education context (Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale in Physical Education, PNSSPE). Junior secondary school (grades 7 to 9) students (N?=?1,258) were invited to…

Richards, K. Andrew R.; Levesque-Bristol, Chantal; Templin, Thomas J. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2014
The study of teacher/coach role conflict has a long history in the physical education literature. However, only a few studies have measured the construct using psychometric instrumentation. Ryan (2008) created one such instrument, but the survey was not validated prior to use. As such, the purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the…

Fletcher, Richard B.; Crocker, Peter – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2014
The present study investigated the social physique anxiety scale's factor structure and item properties using confirmatory factor analysis and item response theory. An additional aim was to identify differences in response patterns between groups (gender). A large sample of high school students aged 11-15 years (N = 1,529) consisting of n =…

Erfle, Stephen E. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2014
This article examines the proclivity and performance attributes of focal students across time and activities using data from 9,345 students. Three systematic focal behavior partitions are examined: Across activities, across time, and across activities and time. A student's performance is focal if it ends in 0 or 5 for push-ups and 0 for…

Freund, Philipp Alexander; Tietjens, Maike; Strauss, Bernd – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2013
The current study employs Mixture Distribution Rasch models to compare the psychometric properties of two rating scale variants (original rating scale with six response categories, "N"?=?806 school students; a variant with four response categories, "N"?=?905 school students) for five specific scales of the Physical…

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…

Barkoukis, Vassilis; Rodafinos, Angelos; Koidou, Eirini; Tsorbatzoudis, Haralambos – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2012
The aim of the present study was to examine the validity and reliability of a multi-dimensional measure of trait anxiety specifically designed for the physical education lesson. The Physical Education Trait Anxiety Scale was initially completed by 774 high school students during regular school classes. A confirmatory factor analysis supported the…

Scruggs, Philip W.; Mungen, Jonathan D.; Oh, Yoonsin – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2010
The purpose of this study was to examine agreement between the Walk4Life DUO pedometer (W4L; Walk4Life, Plainfield, Illinois, USA) and two criterion instruments in the measurement of physical activity. Participants (N = 189, M = 16.74 years, SD = 0.99) in high school physical education concurrently wore the DUO (i.e., comparison instrument) and…

Scruggs, Philip W.; Mungen, Jonathan D.; Oh, Yoonsin – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2010
The primary objective of this research was to quantify the recommended minimum level (i.e., 50% of the class time) of moderate to vigorous physical activity within high school physical education via pedometry steps/min. A secondary objective was to explore the influence of lesson duration (i.e., traditional vs. block schedules) on quantifying…

Choosakul, Chairat; Vongjaturapat, Naruepon; Li, Fuzhong; Harmer, Peter – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2009
Grounded in the conceptual framework of the Sport Commitment Model and previous empirical studies conducted in Western countries, this study was designed to (a) test and validate a Thai version of the Athlete Opinion Survey to assess components of the Sport Commitment Model in Thai youth athletes and (b) examine structural relationships among…

Pritchard, Tony; Hawkins, Andrew; Wiegand, Robert; Metzler, Jonathan N. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2008
Two instructional approaches that have been of interest in promoting sport have been the Sport Education Model (SEM) and the Traditional Style (TS) of teaching physical education. The purpose of this study was to investigate how SEM and TS would affect skill development, knowledge, and game performance for volleyball at the secondary level. A 2 x…

Lindwall, Magnus – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2005
This study examines the factorial validity, factorial invariance across gender, and construct validity of a Swedish version of the Self-Presentation in Exercise Questionnaire (SPEQ; Conroy, Motl, & Hall, 2000). The a priori two-factor 14-item, 11-item, and 9-item models fail to reach acceptable levels of fit in a calibration sample. A modified…
