An Appropriate Criterion Reveals that Low Pass Filtering Can Improve the Estimation of Counter-movement Jump Height from Force Plate Data Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (IF 1.75) Pub Date : 2021-04-02 Brendan L. Pinto, Jack P. Callaghan
ABSTRACT Inconsistent filtering of force plate data persists in published studies. Previous evidence suggests that low pass filtering produces the largest error when calculating jump height, but used jump height from unfiltered force plate data as the criterion. This study investigated the effects of low pass filtering on jump height calculated from force plate data, using jump height recorded from

Validity of the activPAL and Height-Adjusted Curvilinear Cadence-METs Equations in Healthy Adults Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (IF 1.75) Pub Date : 2020-02-04 Myles W. O’Brien, Jarrett A. Johns, Jonathon R. Fowles, Derek S. Kimmerly
ABSTRACT The activPAL is a widely-used measure of sedentary time but few studies have evaluated its ability to estimate physical activity intensity. This study determined the accuracy of the algorithm used by the activPAL to predict metabolic equivalents (METs) from cadence and a curvilinear cadence-METs equation individualized for height. Thirty-six healthy adults (25 ± 6 years) completed a progressive

Physical Activity Classification in Youth Using Raw Accelerometer Data from the Hip Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (IF 1.75) Pub Date : 2020-01-23 Matthew N. Ahmadi, Karin A. Pfeiffer, Stewart G. Trost
ABSTRACT This study developed and evaluated machine learning algorithms to predict children’s physical activity category from raw accelerometer data collected at the hip. Fifty participants (mean age = 13.9 ± 3.0 y) completed 12 activity trials that were categorized into 5 categories: sedentary (SED), light household activities and games (LHHAG), moderate-vigorous games and sports (MVGS), walking (WALK)

Validation of a Skinfold Prediction Equation Based on Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry to Estimate Body Fat Percentage in Women Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (IF 1.75) Pub Date : 2020-01-22 Jillian Barnas, Stephen D. Ball
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to validate an alternative skinfold equation for women created from dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Anthropometrics and a whole-body DXA scan were completed on 77 women (mean age: 28.0 ± 10.2 years). Four Jackson-Pollack (JP) skinfold prediction equations and the DXA criterion (DC) equation were compared to DXA-derived body fat percentage (%BF). One-way

Peak Power Assessment of Isokinetic Knee Flexor and Extensor Tests – Pitfalls of a Dynamometer-based Assessment Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (IF 1.75) Pub Date : 2020-01-20 Tobias Alt, Axel J. Knicker, Jannik Severin, Dennis Horn, Yannick T. Nodler, Heiko K. Strüder
ABSTRACT 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 participants (20 y, 182 cm, 76 kg). Unilateral movements

Initial Validity and Reliability of the Portuguese Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion 6-20 Scale Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (IF 1.75) Pub Date : 2020-01-06 Luana L. Cabral, Fábio Y. Nakamura, Joice M. F. Stefanello, Luiz C. V. Pessoa, Bruno P. C. Smirmaul, Gleber Pereira
ABSTRACT The aims of this study were to perform the cross-cultural adaptation of the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) 6–20 Scale to Brazilian Portuguese language and to start testing its validity and reliability. After performing the cross-cultural adaptation of the Scale, concurrent and discriminative validity, and reliability were determined on a treadmill in young (18–30 years) and older

Inter-session Reliability of Glenohumeral Internal and External Rotation Range-of-motion Measurements is Unaffected by Use of Applied Load Feedback Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (IF 1.75) Pub Date : 2019-12-24 Chris Grant, Tyson A. C. Beach, Sheilah Hogg-Johnson, Michael Chivers, Samuel J. Howarth
ABSTRACT This study evaluated whether real-time applied load feedback and a predefined applied load limit improved inter-session reliability and measurement error of passive glenohumeral rotation range-of-motion measurements. Twenty-one male recreational overhead athletes completed two data collection sessions, approximately 1-week apart. Measurements of internal and external rotation range-of-motion

Critical Statistical and Methodological Issues in Sport Management Research Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (IF 1.75) Pub Date : 2019-11-06 Kevin K. Byon, James J. Zhang
ABSTRACT Sport management research has evolved significantly despite its relatively short history as an academic discipline. Although the pace of scholarly progress has been impressive, the extent to which many research efforts have aided sport management in becoming a distinct academic discipline is, at times, questionable. A major challenge many scholars face is their confusion regarding the adoption

The Stability of Perceived Motor Competence of Primary School Children from Two Countries over One Year Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (IF 1.75) Pub Date : 2019-10-13 Carmen van Veen, Nadja Schott, Natalie Lander, Maike Tietjens, Trina Hinkley, Dennis Dreiskämper, Benjamin Holfelder, Till Utesch, Lisa M. Barnett
ABSTRACT Children’s positive perceived motor competence (PMC) provides motivation for physical activity. Theoretically young children (<8 years) have inflated PMC but as children cognitively develop, perceptions are hypothesized to decrease. This study investigated strength of PMC association over time, whether any change was negative (i.e. PMC decreased) and sex differences. A total of 198 children

Comparison of Body Composition Estimates among Norland Elite®, Lunar iDXA®, and the BodPod® in Overweight to Obese Adults Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (IF 1.75) Pub Date : 2019-10-07 Jalyn Mason, Christopher Morris, Douglas E. Long, Madison N. Sanden, Kyle Flack
ABSTRACT Accurate body composition assessment, which includes fat mass (adipose tissue mass, FM), fat-free mass (FFM), and percent fat mass (%FM) is needed to evaluate health and treatment efficacy. The current study compared body composition estimates obtained from the Norland Elite® DXA, BodPod®, and iDXA® before and after a12-week exercise intervention in adults (n=30, BMI 25–35 kg/m2) .

The Reliability and Validity of the Fitjump Photoelectric Cell System for Determining Vertical Jump Height Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (IF 1.75) Pub Date : 2019-10-07 Mehmet Yıldız, Uğur Fidan
ABSTRACT The aim of this investigation was to assess the reliability and validity of the Fitjump system. Fifty-seven participants (age = 22.62 ± 5.24 years, height = 180.69 ± 12.53 cm, body mass = 75.61 ± 9.56 kg) performed three countermovement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ) with a 1-week interval for test and retest reliability. For validity, the participants performed the same jump protocol on the
