This study investigated the psychometric nature of preference for and tolerance of exercise intensity in physical activity. It initially re-examined the Preference for and Tolerance of the Intensity of Exercise Questionnaire (PRETIE-Q) among Portuguese exercisers, looking at its applicability to different exercise activities and exercise experiences. Then, to investigate the applicability of the measure in different groups, its invariance was examined. The sample consisted of 1117 participants (528 male, 589 female) aged 18-81 years old (Mage = 36.81, SD = 11.89). All participants reported at baseline that they were exercising, on average, 3.93 days (SD = 1.36) per week. The exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) displayed the best fit. The ESEM did show invariance when tested for multigroup analysis. The conclusion of this research is that the ESEM demonstrated the best fit, displaying invariance in multigroup analysis. Furthermore, when assessing preference and tolerance in various exercise modalities, the PRETIE-Q should be primarily used as a multidimensional instrument due to the differential recognition of preference and tolerance in seemingly similar physical activity circumstances, highlighting the importance of employing context-verified measures to evaluate exercise-intensity preference and tolerance based on sample characteristics or real-time context.
本研究调查了体育活动中对运动强度的偏好和耐受性的心理测量性质。它首先重新审视了葡萄牙锻炼者的运动强度偏好与耐受性问卷（PRETIE-Q），考察其在不同运动活动和运动经历中的适用性。然后，为了研究该测量方法在不同群体中的适用性，对其不变性进行了检验。样本包括1117名年龄在18 - 81岁之间的参与者（528名男性，589名女性）（年龄均值 = 36.81，标准差 = 11.89）。所有参与者在基线时报告称，他们平均每周锻炼3.93天（标准差 = 1.36）。探索性结构方程模型（ESEM）显示拟合效果最佳。在进行多组分析测试时，ESEM确实显示出不变性。本研究的结论是，ESEM显示出最佳拟合效果，在多组分析中表现出不变性。此外，在评估各种运动方式中的偏好和耐受性时，由于在看似相似的体育活动情境中对偏好和耐受性的识别存在差异，PRETIE-Q应主要用作多维工具，这突出了采用经情境验证的测量方法根据样本特征或实时情境来评估运动强度偏好和耐受性的重要性。
