Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and understanding, enabling individuals to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life. While tools exist to measure physical literacy in most populations, the psychometric properties of the Physical Literacy Assessment for Youth (PLAY) tool in an older adolescent age group are currently unknown. The purpose of this work was to determine the psychometric properties of the PLAY tool, specifically the PLAY in an older adolescent age group (~14-18 years).
One hundred and fifty-one secondary school in-season student-athletes completed the PLAY, with construct validity assessed using an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA).
Results from the EFA yielded a 7-factor model across the three subsections (environment, physical literacy self-description, relative rankings of literacies) of the PLAY, all with acceptable levels of internal consistency.
The PLAY produced acceptable estimates for construct validity and reliability, making it a useful tool for measuring physical literacy in secondary school student-athletes.
身体素养是指激励、信心、身体能力、知识和理解,使个人能够重视并为终身参与体育活动承担责任。虽然有工具可以衡量大多数人群的身体素养,但在青少年后期年龄段,青少年身体素养评估工具(PLAY)的心理测量学特性目前尚不清楚。这项工作的目的是确定 PLAY 工具的心理测量学特性,特别是在青少年后期年龄段(约 14-18 岁)的 PLAY。
151 名中学在赛季学生运动员完成了 PLAY,使用探索性因素分析(EFA)评估结构效度。
EFA 的结果在 PLAY 的三个部分(环境、身体素养自我描述、素养的相对排名)产生了一个 7 因素模型,所有部分都具有可接受的内部一致性水平。
PLAY 在结构效度和信度方面产生了可接受的估计值,使其成为衡量中学生运动员身体素养的有用工具。
