The structure of the physical fitness of students engaged in golf has been studied on the basis of long-term observations. Methods of variance, correlation, and factor analysis were used to process the results of physical fitness tests of 242 male students. The structure and typical features of the physical development of students in the course of golf classes were formulated

Statement of the problem. The use of physical fitness simulation among athletes is much less common than the improvement of individual techniques, means and other “tools” of coaches. However, with the help of simulation, specialists in the field of high-performance sports can more effectively realize a training plan and use it, adapting it to specific athletes with their body characteristics as much as possible. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to develop model characteristics of speed abilities among sprinter swimmers specializing in the 100-meter freestyle at the stage of their performance improvement. The methodology of our work is based on the analysis of scientific literature on the selected problem and testing of sprinter swimmers for development of model characteristics of their speed abilities. Research result. Using the methodology of V.M. Zatsiorsky, we developed a score scale of assessments, and its interpretation on the graph with visualization of test results of athletes. According to these charts, we can specify the “problems” and “advantages” in the physical fitness of sprinter swimmers. We also conducted a factor analysis, as a result of which we identified specific factors that affect the performance for this distance. Conclusion. Based on the results of this study, we have identified 4 factors and variables most influential for the result in the profile distance of swimmers. Using these data, the relationships among variables are established.

Recientemente se ha desarrollado un instrumento que permite evaluar de forma indirecta la condición física, el International Fitness Scale. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de validez y fiabilidad de la escala de condición física International Fitness Scale en una muestra de adolescentes chilenos. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 1000 jóvenes desde los 12 hasta los 18 años (48.8% mujeres) para el análisis de validez del instrumento. Una sub-muestra de 89 participantes (37.8% mujeres) se utilizó para los análisis de fiabilidad. La consistencia del instrumento se analizó mediante el coeficiente α de Cronbach, la validez de constructo a través del análisis factorial, la validez convergente mediante el método de grupos conocidos y la fiabilidad mediante el coeficiente Kappa ponderado. Los resultados mostraron la robustez de la escala utilizada, su validez y una moderada fiabilidad en esta población. El cuestionario International Fitness Scale es válido y fiable para su uso en población adolescente chilena, economizando los gastos en tiempo, material y personal para la medición de la condición física en jóvenes chilenos.Abstract. In recent years, an instrument, known as the International Fitness Scale, was developed in order to indirectly assess physical fitness. The aim of the present study was to analyze the psychometric properties of validity and reliability of the International Fitness Scale in a sample of Chilean adolescents. The sample selected for assessing the instrument’s validity was composed by 1,000 adolescents aged 12 to 18 (48.8% girls). With regard to reliability analysis, a sub-sample of 89 participants (37.8% girls) was employed. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach´s alpha. Exploratory factor analysis was carried out in order to measure the construct validity, while convergent validity was assessed applying the known groups method. Results showed that the scale is consistent and valid, presenting moderate reliability. The International Fitness Scale has been proved to be a valid and reliable tool for fitness assessment in Chilean adolescents. This instrument could help economizing equipment, time and personnel in the assessment of Physical Fitness in Chilean youth.

The aim of this study was to design and validate a scale that would allow the evaluation in Physical Education teachers the responsible use of physical fitness tests related to health. Method: The sample was composed of 374 secondary school teachers (266 men and 108 women), from educational centers belonging to the eight Andalusian provinces, aged between 24 and 67 years (41.92 ± 9.24). Results: Firstly, a 26-item instrument was designed, which obtained item-total correlation values of ≥ .35, except for 5 items. Then, the internal structure of the scale was evaluated and proved to be relevant. The statistical analysis of the items and the subsequent exploratory factor analysis resulted in five factors (orientation of the result, use of participatory styles, the educational approach, methodological rigor, and positive reinforcement), with positive and significant correlations, confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis, factor invariance tests, as well as reliability and convergent and discriminant validity and reliability. The results of the analysis of psychometric properties of the scale were moderate and allowed us to offer a valid and reliable 15-item an ad hoc instrument, with adequate values of validity and reliability, proving its usefulness the evaluation in Physical Education teachers the responsible use of physical fitness tests in their classes.

The purpose of this research is mainly to explore the validity and reliability of PERMA instruments to determine the nature of PERMA for Chinese university EFL students. A total of 309 Chinese university EFL students from 10 universities in Gansu province were investigated. Selected by cluster random sampling, the extracted data from the survey design underwent exploratory factor analysis(EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis(CFA) with the use of SPSS version 24 and AMOS version 23 to verify the factor structure of the PERMA. The results of EFA indicate similar structures from prior research and the present study. The CFA results testify that the PERMA instrument is satisfactory for Chinese university EFL students. Therefore, this research indicates that the PERMA of Chinese university EFL students also has a five-factor structure, which implies the perceived PERMA in the Chinese EFL context to be adequately invariant and it as an effective measurement tool supporting the research of Chinese university students’ well-being. The findings highlight the significance of validating and confirming the PERMA structure and provide new insights into its application across different cultural contexts.
