| Definition of objectivity | the ability of a measure to be unbiased |
| Definition of subjectivity | a measurement which accounts for a subject's accounts about a particular construct |
| Definition of Measurement Error | the difference between the measured value and the actual value |
| What is RPE? | Rating of Perceived Exertion. is a subjective measure of intensity. |
| Definition of Self-Efficacy? | an individual's confidence in their ability to accomplish a task. |
| Definition of self-regulation? | an individual's ability to monitor, evaluate, and change a behavior. |
| definition of enjoyment? | an internal state of pleasure, usually the result of a behavior. |
| definition of motivation? | an internal state that facilitates or inhibits behaviors. |
| Self-regulation can include? | goal setting, self-monitoring, stimulus control, temptation self-efficacy |
| Factors that increase enjoyment? | types of activity (rhythmic and repetitive, duration, intensity, frequency, lack of competition (most of the population), enjoyment. |
| What is intrinsic motivation? | behavior that is performed for the satisfaction and enjoyment it provides. *internal enjoyment |
| What is extrinsic motivation? | Behavior that is performed for the external reward that is provides. * Awards, accolades |
| What are some innate psychological needs for behavior change? | Autonomy (authority), competence (knowledge, skill) and connection (environment). |
| What is a healthy community? | a community that facilitates healthy behaviors by providing adequate physical resources, which encourages people to engage in healthy behaviors rather than unhealthy behaviors. |
| What does walkability mean? | The overall comfort, access, enjoyment, and connectivity of an area that facilitates walking. |
| Who is a policy maker? | an individual responsible for facilitating policy that changes the environment. |
| What is a walkability assessment mean? | A tool used to access the built environment for walking. |
| What is a walk audit? | A tool that helps you evaluate how healthy your community is by looking at the pros and cons. |
| What kind of environment promotes walkability? | Weather/shade/green space (aesthetics), proximity of destinations, density (population, roadways, intersections, and destinations). |
| Why is walking a good form of PA? | Most people have a high self-efficacy for walking. Walking is the most common type of PA. |
| What are the three types of Validity? | 1. Content validity 2. Criterion related validity 3. Construct validity |
| What are the three types of Reliability? | 1. stability 2. internal consistency 3. precision |
| What is Relevance? | application or pertinence of a measurement to a study. |
| What are the four types of measurement error? | 1. Lack of agreement among scorers. 2. Failure of an instrument to measure consistently. 3. Failure of a tester to follow standardized testing procedures. 4. Lack of consistent performance by individuals being tested. |
| What is Content validity? | addresses whether the components of the measurement measure what they are supposed to measure. |
| What is Criterion related validity? | based on the comparison between your measurement and an already accepted standard->must have a criterion to compare against |
| What is construct validity? | the ability to deduce information from other observable information (which are not easily measurable) |
| what is stability? | day to day consistency of scores |
| what is internal consistency? | consistency of measures taken in the same internal session measured by the same tester using the same procedures. |
| what is precision? | the repeatability of a measurement |
| What is an abstract? | Brief summary of the article. |
| What is an introduction? | Provides background information about what other studies have found, and the purpose of the current study and hypothesis. |
| What is a method? | description of subjects, data collection techniques, and statistical analysis used. |
| What is a result? | Data that is presented with statistical comparisons that allow them to answer the research question. |
| What is a discussion? | Explains what the data means, how it answers the research question, comparison to previous studies, and discusses any limitations to the research, summary and conclusion. |
| What are funding and acknowledgements? And why are they important? | Provides a list of those involved in the success and publication of their findings and mentions. Can show possible biases the research might have had. |
| Explain the difference between objective and subjective measurements? | Objective: mathematical number describing a patient Subjective: based on personal accounts |
| The Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale is an example of a(n) ___________ measurement. This scale is highly correlated with VO2max and ___________. ( | 1. Subjective measurement 2. Heart rate |
| What is one strength and weakness of a subjective measurement? | Understands complex behaviors that numbers cannot account for however is less reliable due to its difficulty to be interpreted. |
| What is one strength and weakness of a objective measurement? | Reliable for of measurement because it is unbiased however it may fail to account for context and mislead data. |
| You are coming back from summer break and during a workout, you notice that your fatigue is much higher than usual. How could you use self-regulation to monitor your response and modify your approach to training? | Monitor yourself during, and after your workout. Then set a goal of how you want to improve yourself. Once you set a goal complete exercises that help you in your workout and keep monitoring yourself. This way you can keep track of your progress. |
| Your client has repeatedly failed to maintain an exercise routine and now has low confidence in their ability to succeed. Using Self-Efficacy Theory, list two of the components and explain how you could use them to increase the clients’ confidence. | Implement verbal persuasion and performance accomplishments. Use familiar and enjoyable exercises for your client to build back their confidence. |
| Why are validity and reliability important? | Validity and reliability combined help a test be pertinent and dependable. If either is off, data can be skewed can may lead to mislead data. |
| Give an example of a measurement that is reliable but not valid. | A test is given to KIN 220 over muscle groups. The test measured how fast questions were answered, but not whether answers were right or wrong. |
| What is an example of Lack of consistent performance by the individual being tested? | Ex: An individual drinks too much the day before testing or does not eat or sleep before the testing session. |
| What is an example of Failure of a tester to follow standardized testing procedures? | Ex: tester takes a pulse with a thumb and not first two fingers. |
| What is an example of Failure of an instrument to measure consistently? | Ex: A scale is not zero in. |
| What is an example of lack of agreement among scorers? | Ex: Body Composition and Skin Fold |
