“…We report similar grip strength in urban and rural samples, as did one prior study of urban and rural 10–12 year old Chinese children [ 46 ]. One puzzling observation is that grip strength was somewhat higher in urban compared to rural mothers despite more time spent farming and in household activities.…”

Objectives: This paper describes the development of a physical activity questionnaire (PAQ) designed for Chinese adolescents and their mothers in urban and rural settings, and reports on results of the PAQ, pedometry, and hand grip dynamometry from the Chinese Children and Families Cohort Study pilot investigation (CFCS). Methods: As part of a pilot investigation to evaluate the feasibility to follow-up and obtain detailed nutrition, dietary, physical activity, and ultraviolet radiation (UVR) data from CFCS participants, data were collected in 2013 for 93 adolescent/mother pairs from a rural (n = 41) and an urban site (n = 52) in two provinces. Respondents were asked to wear a pedometer for seven days (Omron HJ-151), use a Takei Digital Grip Strength Dynamometer on (each hand; three trials; two separate days), and complete a 39 item, eight domain PAQ covering the past year. Self-reported physical activity (PA) was linked to metabolic equivalent of task (MET) scores in kcal/kg/hr and used to calculate METs for different domains of PA and intensity categories. Results: Compliance was high (95%) in this measurement protocol administered by health staff during a series of data collection efforts at home and local clinics or health centers. Step counts were highly variable, averaging between 5000 and 10000 per day with somewhat higher step counts in rural adolescent boys. Maximum grip strength (Kgs) was greater in children (Mean = 36.5, SE = 0.8) than mothers (Mean = 28.8, SE = 0.8) and similar in the urban (Mean = 29.6, SE = 0.6) compared to the rural (Mean = 29.6, SE = 0.5) communities overall. Grip strength, step counts, and measures of time spent in different activities or activity intensities were uncorrelated. Conclusion: Device and question-based measurement of PA and strength were readily accepted in these Chinese urban and rural populations. The PAQ on physical activity in the past year produced some plausible population averages, but individual responses suggested recall challenges. If data about specific activities are required, future studies should explore use of standardized survey questions concerning such fewer specific activities or instruments examining shorter time periods such as one, three, or seven day recalls.

“…Although a few validation studies have been conducted for SBJ, the difference in population in term of age, gender, experience require a new study of the relevant population (Yin, Tang, & Tao, 2018;Reid, Dolan, & De Beliso, 2017;Fernandez-Santos, Ruiz, Cohen, Gonzalez-Montesinos, & Castro-Pinero, 2015). Besides, the process of validation and reliability is about obtaining and gathering the evidence to support the score interpretation.…”

Standing Broad Jump (SBJ) is a field test used to assess leg power. This study aims to determine the reliability, validity, and develop norm reference among adolescents. The evidence of the reliability, validity, norm need to establish in the particular population to support the interpretation of the scores. This study involved 60 subjects and six raters for reliability and validity. 417 subjects for norm development. The ICC, test-retest, and Pearson Correlation were used to determine the reliability. Independent sample t was used to determine the validity. The standard deviation method was used to construct the norm reference. Findings showed the ICC was high among male raters (.96) and female raters (.99). The consistency of the instrument excellent among males and female subjects (r = 96, r = .90). Independent sample t-test showed t value (58) = 3.395, p = 0.01 was significant. Finding showed a significant difference between the elite (M= 2.0871) and non-elite athlete (M= 1.897) for male. While, there are significant different for female subjects' t value (58) = 7.324, p = 0.00 was significant. The difference showed the SBJ has the construct validity evidence in this population. This study also indicated new norm for SBJ as (

“…The summarized available evidence showed that the FSM (4-10 years), BOUGE health-related fitness battery (8-16 years), fitness test battery (3-6 years), and test battery (5-12 years) are reliable measures to use in children with TD. The construct of the FSM, test battery, fitness test battery, and simple muscle strength test 79 were shown to be valid in children with TD. So far, only the upper limb section of the FSM, specifically for measuring muscle power, has been recommended by Bieber et al (2016); however, this recommendation was based on only 2 identified studies of children with DCD.…”

Abstract Objective Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are reported to have lower levels of strength and anaerobic capacity. The purpose of this study was to (1) identify field-based tests for strength and anaerobic capacity used in studies comparing children with DCD, and children who were typically developing (TD), (2) examine the methodologically quality of studies reporting psychometric properties and rate the psychometric properties of the examined test, and (3) summarize available evidence by combining the methodological quality of the studies and the quality of the psychometric properties of the test. Methods An electronic search was conducted in July 2019 in 4 electronic databases. For purpose 1, primary studies were included with no exclusion of study design in which children aged 4 to 18 years with DCD were compared to children who were TD on strength and/or anaerobic capacity measures. For purpose 2, primary studies were included with no exclusion of study design in which a psychometric property was investigated. The COnsensus-based Standards for selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) was used to evaluate methodological quality of the 34 studies and rate the psychometric properties of the used tests. Results Hand held dynamometer, bent knee push-up, vertical jump, standing long-jump, functional strength measurement, fitness test, and test battery can be recommended for TD, and the shuttle run item of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Second Edition (BOT-2) and 10 meter X 5 meter sprints (straight and slalom) for DCD. Conclusion Information regarding psychometric properties of field-based tests for strength and anaerobic capacity in children with DCD is lacking. Impact Statement Information about the psychometric properties of field-based tests for strength and anaerobic capacity in children with DCD is lacking. In TD children more information is available however also not complete. Especially information regarding validity and responsiveness is missing. When using measures in children with DCD it is important to keep this lack of evidence for the validity and reliability of the outcomes for this target group in mind.
