Being responsible and having responsible behavior is the goal of many teachers who try to make students achieve this important thing to witness responsible students in the future. Considering the importance of this issue, especially in the field of physical education, the present study aimed to validate the Student’s Responsibility in Physical Education Scale (SRIPES).

Firstly, the Student’s Responsibility in Physical Education Scale was translated into the Persian language to calculate its validity and reliability and report the construct validity. In the implementation stage, the distribution of questionnaires was done in two stages; In the first stage, questionnaires were given to the students to analyze the exploratory factor, and in the second stage, the questionnaires were given to the students to analyze the confirmatory factor and convergent validity. In this research, 400 students (250 girls and 150 boys) were selected among 500 fifth and sixth-grade boys and girls students, using a convenient sampling method.

"Effort", "following class rules" and "self-management" had the greatest effect on the responsible behavior construct. The reliability of the research was also evaluated as 0.7, which was favorable.

Six factors were identified in the exploratory factor analysis. Items 1, 7, 13, 9 belong to the “Effort” factor, items 2, 8, 14, 20 belong to the “Self-directed” factor, items 3, 9, 21, 25 belong to “following the class rules” factor, items 4, 10, 16, 22, 15 belong to “Respect others” factor, items 5, 11, 17, 23, 26 belong to “Help others”, and items 6, 12, 18, 24 belong to “Cooperation (participation)” factor. Confirmatory factor analysis also confirmed this six-factor model. Using this tool, it is possible to check responsibility in boys and girls students.

The purpose of this research was to construct and validate of the parent support scale for physical education. This research was mixed (qualitative and quantitative methods). In the qualitative section, a questionnaire with 29 questions was compiled by examining the theoretical foundations and literature, holding focus meetings, and interviewing 6 experts in the field of PE and educational sciences. The quantitative part of the research consisted of 3 stages. The first stage was distributing the questionnaire among 10 specialists to check the face and content validity, and conducting an initial pilot on 90 people. In this stage, one question was deleted. The second stage was to perform Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and the extraction of 5 factors and remove 2 questions. The third stage was to perform Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and examine convergent and divergent validity and composite reliability. The research tool in the qualitative phase was interviews with the members of the focus group and in the quantitative phase, a 5-point Likert questionnaire. The participants of the quantitative part were 7634 parents of students from all over the provinces of Iran. After conducting EFA, 26 questions were placed on five factors (attitude into PE, behavioral pattern, interaction with PE teacher, affective support, and hardware support). Also, the findings of the CFA indicated proper fit indices and the model was confirmed. Eventually, it can be stated that the parent support scale for physical education has proper validity and reliability and it can be used in Iran.

The purpose of this study was to validate and validate the online class questionnaire. This study was a correlational study. The statistical population of the present study was physical education students. According to the minimum sample size criterion required for data collection in factor analysis, 384 customers were selected as a statistical sample. Questionnaires were randomly distributed among the samples. Convenience sampling method was used. The standard Bangirt online questionnaire (2004), which was reviewed by Gopal et al. (2021), was used. The questionnaire had four components: quality of instructor, course design, promptfeedback and expectation of students. The scoring method for the questions was based on the Likert five-point scale. The face and content validity of the questionnaire was determined with the help of 10 experts. To analyze the data from Cronbach's alpha coefficient and combined reliability tests to determine internal reliability, from KMO test to determine sampling adequacy, from exploratory factor analysis to identify components and from confirmatory factor analysis to determine structural validity used. The results showed that the reliability of the questionnaire components was acceptable. Regarding the relationship between agents and online classes, the results showed that all agents were able to explain well the concept of online classes; As a result, the internal and external validity of the online classroom model was confirmed. With the approval of the tools mentioned in this study, future researchers can use the current tools to determine students' attitudes toward online classes.

The aim of This study was to design a special physical fitness test for Iran's ground forces. After designing the initial test pattern, its validity and reliability were assessed. Based on the initial model, according to military requirements, three physical fitness tests of Ranger, Armored and Pedestrian forces were designed and the validity of the tests were evaluated. independent t-test was used to determine the structural validity of the initial model of physical fitness test and Pearson correlation was use to determine validity and reliability of the tests.The result showed significant difference in tie of initial physical fitness test between newly enrolled military personnel and the trained military personnel (P≤0/ 043). and significant correlation between the twice times of the initial physical fitness test (r = 84%). The results showed significant correlation between the time of physical fitness test and physical fitness score in ranger (r = -53%), armored (r = -48%) and pedestrian forces (r = -65%). Conclusion The results showed, the primary model due to distinguish difference between newly enrolled personnel from trained has critical validity and due to the appropriate correlation between the two times has apropprate relibility. The results also showed that there is a good correlation and validity between the time of special physical fitness tests and the physical fitness score of Rangers, armored carriers and pedestrians personnel. Therefore becous of this result it seems provided tests have the ability to determine the special physical fitness of Rangers, armored carriers and pedestrians personnel.

Acrophobia is one of the most common fears that one loses thinking and even standing in face of it. The purpose of this study was to investigate psychometric properties of Cohen Acrophobia Questionnaire (ACQ) among Iranian athletes. 225 athletes (75 girls and 150 boys) age ranged 18-50 years old (25.70±6.86 years) and sport experiences of 8.5 ± 3 year participated in this study. The acrophobia questionnaire includes two items of anxiety and avoidance, each containing 20 questions. Prior to the factor analyses, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Bartlett's test of sphericity was used to assess the suitability of the respondent data for factor analysis. Then, a confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the construct validity of the questionnaire using Absolute, Comparative and Parsimony fit indices. It was used the internal consistency coefficient of Cronbach's alpha to calculate the reliability of questions in each subscale. The findings of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the comparative, absolute, and parsimony indices are in acceptable range. Also, the results of Cronbach's alpha test showed that reliability coefficient of anxiety and avoidance subscales were .96 and .97 respectively. the findings of this study indicate that, Cohen acrophobia questionnaire could be used as a reliable tool to measure acrophobia among Iranian athletes.

This research aimed to design and standardize the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence assessment questionnaire in Iranian society.

The current research method was a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods with an exploratory design – an instrument development model. In the qualitative stage, after conducting 12 semi-structured interviews, related categories were collected and after checking the face and content validity, a 36-item questionnaire was designed. In the quantitative stage, the validity and reliability of the researcher-made questionnaire were examined. The statistical sample consisted of 808 teenagers from five provinces of the country who were selected by the multi-stage cluster sampling method and all the subjects completed the questionnaire. To determine the concurrent validity, the KTK3+ motor competence standard test was used, and to check the temporal reliability and consistency, test-retest and Cronbach's alpha coefficient were used.

Through exploratory factor analysis, five factors of physical fitness factors related to health and skill, perceptual ability, non-verbal communication, enjoyment and participation in various physical activities, and learning and experience of motor skills were identified and these five factors explained 51% of the total variance. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the goodness of fit index and the comparative fit index was higher than 0.90. In concurrent validity, the correlation between the scores of the two tests was 0.51 and Cronbach's alpha coefficients (0.89) and intra-class correlation (0.87) were also obtained.

In general, it can be concluded that the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence questionnaire has a suitable and acceptable validity and reliability, and by using this questionnaire, the assessment of the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence of teenagers is possible.

Genovarum and Genovalgum are the most common postural deformities of the knee joint. A quadriceps angle is used to measure these anomalies. Methods of measuring this angle are divided into two categories: invasive and non-invasive. The purpose of the present research was to study the inter/intra rater reliability of the non-invasive Body Landmarks Analyzer method for measuring of the quadriceps angle. Seventeen males (Age: 23.40 ± 1.7 years, height: 176.32 ± 6.41 cm, weight: 72.25 ± 14.6 kg, and BMI: 22.33 ± 1.38, kg/m2). participated in this study. Body landmarks analyzer system consists of a pen (sender) and camera (receiver), both of which are equipped with IR sensors. Anatomical Landmarks of the ASIS, medial and lateral epicondyle, tibial tuberosity, and medial and lateral malleolus were used to diagnose and calculate the quadriceps angle position. Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) two-way mixed model on absolute agreement was used to identify the inter/intra raters’ reliability. The results showed that the intra-rater reliability for the first technician was 0.83; The second technician is 0.81 and the third technician is 0.8. In addition, the inter-rater reliability was also 0.85. Therefore, it can be stated that the Body Landmark Analyzer method has good reliability for use in the extraction of knee joint abnormalities. Therefore, it can be suggested that this system be used along with other non-invasive methods.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version body and fitness-related self-conscious emotion questionnaire (BSE-FIT).

The statistical population of this study consisted of students of Arak University. 473 male participants from Arak University were selected by convenience sampling method and completed a body and fitness-related self-conscious emotion questionnaire. Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis based on the structural equation model, composite reliability, average variance extracted, and convergent and discriminant validity.

The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that question one, as a clear indicator of shame, was removed due to its low factor loading. Once it was removed, there are sufficient fit indices for the four initial proposed factors.

These findings provided evidence for the validity and reliability of the 15 questions of this tool.

The aim of this study was to evaluate psychometric properties of the persian version of sport imagery ability questionnaire (SIAQ) (Williams and Cumming, 2011). In the first step, SIAQ was translated into Persian and translate accuracy of Persian version of questionnaire was confirmed. Then 154 skilled male athletes (mean age: of 22/59±3/69 years) completed the Questionnaire. Data was analyzed with Confirmatory factor analysis based on structural equations and Cronbach alpha coefficient. The results showed that questionnaire’s internal consistency was acceptable and confirmatory factor analysis supported Persian version of sport imagery ability questionnaire with 5-factor and 15-item. The identified five factor model in this research was identical with the model introduced for this questionnaire by original authors. Due to the confirmation of variability and reliability of this questionnaire, it can be used for evaluation of sport imagery ability in male athletes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the Persian version of the social identity questionnaire for sport. The research method is non-experimental studies in the field of instrument validation in which the necessary information was collected cross-sectionally. The statistical population of the present study consisted of athletes in District 10 of Tehran. The statistical sample also included 180 people who were selected by random sampling method and completed the social identity questionnaire for sport (SIQS). The questionnaire consists of nine questions and three sub-scales including in-group ties (IGT), cognitive centrality (CC), and in-group affect (IGA). Data were analyzed with Confirmatory factorial analysis based on structural equations, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and intra-class correlation coefficient tests. The result showed that the social identity questionnaire for sport (SIQS) has acceptable fit indexes (RMSEA=0.044, CFI=0.947, TLI=0.963, PNFI=0.987, and AGFI=0.921), internal consistency, and temporal reliability. Thus, the Persian version of the social identity questionnaire for sport (SIQS) has acceptable reliability and validity in Iranian athletes, and coaches, researchers, psychologists, and athletes can use this questionnaire.

An adolescent’s level of motor competence is important to assess as can impact on a range of daily functions and participation in physical activities. Formal assessments of motor competence can be time consuming and costly. One alternative is to use self-report questionnaires to screen for level of motor competence.

This study examines the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the Adolescent Motor Competence Questionnaire (AMCQ) and differences between adolescent boys and girls.

Three evaluative stages were completed to translate the items into Persian, which included back translations by 4 native English and Persian speakers and 10 expert reviews. A total of 470 adolescents aged 12-18 years old (mean age 14.22 ± 1.64) from the Ray schools district completed the 26-item AMCQ. A subsample of 30 adolescents completed the AMCQ after 1 week for retest.

The content validity index (CVI=0.98) was strong. The results of exploratory factor analysis identified 4 factors and the results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that items with a suitable factor load (0.95-0.65) on the four factors. The results revealed the AMCQ had high internal consistency (0.940), and acceptable test-retest reliability (r=0.885). When considering gender, boys had higher AMCQ scores compared to girls. The boy’s scores were related to the factors of ‘participating in physical activity and sport’ and ‘peer comparisons’.

The results of this study show that the Persian version of AMCQ can be used as a valid tool to assess Iranian adolescence motor competence.

A child's perception of her/his motor competence can play an important mediating role between actual motor competence and physical activity. The aim of this study was to translate into Persian and evaluate the validity and reliability of the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence (PMSC ) in 7-10 Years Old Children Ahvaz. The research strategy and design were descriptive-normative and cross-sectional rrespectively. A total of 256 children aged 7-10 years were selected and evaluated by cluster sampling from different regions of Ahvaz. One week later, one subset (n=98) was randomly selected to determine face validity and another subset (n=87) was selected to determine the reliability of test-retest. The research tool was PMSC test. Descriptive statistical methods and confirmatory factor analysis, intra-class correlation coefficient and Cronbach's alpha were used. Face validity was better for object control skills. Cronbach's alpha Results were acceptable in both subtests and the whole test (0.74 to 0.94). Intra-class correlation was high for locomotor subtest (0.90), object control subtest (0.91) and total test (0.94). The hypothesized two-factor model was tested and confirmed. Fit indices had acceptable values. Considering the confirmation of the validity and reliability of PMSC , it can be used with confidence to assess the perceived competence of Ahwaz children's motor skills. Since the samples were only from children in Ahvaz, the results may not be generalizable for all children in Iran. Future studies should evaluate the characteristics of test based on the cultural diversity of other regions.

Lack of physical fitness measurement tools is still felt, especially in different groups, mainly the elderly. Therefore, considering the role and importance of physical fitness measurement in the elderly, the aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of Farsi version of physical fitness measurement tools among elderly. Research method of present study was developmental. Statistical population were Iranian elderly that 250 men and women were selected from Tabriz and Tehran by random cluster sampling. Measurement tools included Short Form (36) Health Survey, Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity, Self-Reported Physical Fitness Survey, Senior fitness test. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and Spearman Brown correlation coefficient and SPSS software version 22. The results showed that concurrent criterion validity was confirmed by correlation between objective and subjective physical fitness measures, and construct validity between some objective and subjective physical fitness factors with physical indices and physical activity. Construct validity was also confirmed between some factors of objective physical fitness and quality of life. The results of Cronbach's alpha reliability for objective physical fitness were 0.69 and subjective physical fitness 0.67. Split half reliability was 0.65 and 0.69. Accordingly, it can be said that the objective and subjective physical fitness measurement tools examined in this study have acceptable validity and reliability in Iranian elderly population. Therefore, we can use these tests in appropriate conditions to evaluate the physical fitness of the elderly alternatively.

The aim of the study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Iraqi version of the Gross Motor Development Test - Third Edition TGMD-3 in Iraqi children aged 5 to 9 years. The second aim of this study was to compare the development of gross motor skills of Iranian and Iraqi children. The participants were selected from 400 people by cluster sampling method from Iraq and were evaluated using TGMD-3 test. Finally, 30 Iraqis in the age group of 8-9 years were randomly selected and compared with a similar group of 30 Iranian children. Cronbach's alpha, Pearson correlation coefficient, factor analysis and t-test were used to analyze the data. Internal consistency reliability coefficients for locomotor, ball skills and total scores were 0.77, 0.85 and 0.87; test-retest reliability coefficients were 0.89, 0.90 and 0.91; inter-rater reliability coefficients were 0.77, 0.85 and 0.88; intera-rater coefficients were 0.66, 0.80 and 0.84, respectively. Also, there was no significant difference between the performance of Iranian and Iraqi children in the subtests of locomotor and ball skills and the total score of gross motor skills (P <0.05). Due to the confirmation of validity and reliability, this test can be used with confidence to evaluate the development of gross motor skills. The results obtained are limited to the Iraqi boy community of 5 to 9 years, and additional studies are needed in the future for use in the girl community and other age groups.

Self-report psychological questionnaires are important tools for assessing cognitive and emotional status of athletes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of test of performance strategies (TOPS) among athletes. For this purpose, 209 males (n=125) and females (n=84) national and champions athletes aged 15 to 18 completed TOPS measure. It was used confirmatory factor analysis to test the construct validity of questionnaire and Cronbachchr('39')s alpha coefficient for testing internal consistency of each factor items. The results of factor analysis identified eight subscales of goal-setting, automaticity, emotional-control, imagery, activation, positive self-talk, relaxation, attentional control/negative thinking for the practice and competition. The results of the Cronbachchr('39')s alpha coefficient indicated appropriate internal consistency of subscales items of practice (.70 to .95) and competition (.77 to .88). It seems that this questionnaire is an appropriate tool for measuring psychological skills among young athletes.

The aim of this study was to validation of the Persian version of the scale of enjoyment of physical activity in first grade high school students in Khuzestan province.

Among all of high school students in Khuzestan province who were studying in the academic year 1399-1398, 382 were clustered randomly selected (199 boys and 183 girls). The research tool was the scale of enjoyment of physical activity, the validity and reliability of which were also confirmed. The implementation method was such that using the open translation method, the translation accuracy of the Persian version of the scale was confirmed. For data analysis, confirmatory factor analysis was used to validate the structure and internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha coefficient at a significance level of p≤0.05.

The results of confirmatory factor analysis of physical activity enjoyment scale indicators indicate that the measurement model has a favorable fit and all physical fitness subscales of physical activity enjoyment index had an acceptable factor load and were confirmed. The internal consistency was 0.90 and the internal consistency of the pleasure subscale was 0.82%, communication was 0.78%, competency was 0.72%, improvement was 0.70% and entertainment was 0.74%. It came in handy.

Therefore, the Persian version of the scale of enjoyment of physical activity had structural validity and internal reliability and can be used as a valid and stable tool among students.

Regular physical activity is beneficial for the physical, mental, and social aspects of adolescents' health. Valid and reliable tools are needed to measure adolescents' commitment to physical activity. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of Persian version of the Commitment to Physical Activity Scale for Adolescents.

The statistical sample consisted of female students of Arak city who were selected by available sampling method. Participants completed the demographic characteristics questionnaire and the Commitment to Physical Activity Scale for Adolescents (Robbins et al., 2016). Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha.

The results showed that the goodness of fit index and comparative fit index were higher than (0.90). Also, the results showed that Cronbach's alpha coefficient for Commitment to Physical Activity Scale and its dimensions was above 0.7 (the value of acceptable index).

In general, the results showed that the Persian version of the the Commitment to Physical Activity Scale in Iranian adolescents had acceptable validity and reliability. Therefore, this questionnaire can be used for educational and research purposes.
