Week 7 Flashcards
Validity
Ability of test to measure accurately, with minimal error, a specific physical fitness component
Validity coefficient (r)
Relationship between predicted score and reference score
- Close to 1 = valid
Line of best fit
Regression line for relationship between measured and predicted scores
Standard error of estimate (SEE)
How far away the predicted are from the line of best fit - want to be small
Sensitivity
probability of correctly identifying individuals with a risk (low false negative)
Specificity
Probability of correctly identifying individuals without a risk - low false positive
Reliability
Consistent and stable over time
Objectivity
Intertester reliability (can be administered by different people and still produces consistent results)
Line of identity
Line that represents a forced perfect relationship between reference value and predicted value
- Values above the line underestimate
- Values below the line overestimate
Bland-Altman plot with 95% limits
- Assess where dots are related to midline with 95% confidence interval
- Can assess how big the confidence interval is
- may be better in certain ranges (good for one part of the population)
- Above line is underestimating
- Below line is overestimating
How many participants are needed for every variable in a predictive test
20-40 participants
What determines behaviour?
Likelihood of a person adopting a healthy behaviour = motivating factors - inhibiting factors
What is a theory and why do we use them
- An organized set of concepts, definitions, and propositions that explain or predict phenomena by illustrating the relationships between variables
- Theories are “evidence-based” models that describe predict, and explain how people approach physical activity
Cognitive-based theories of behaviour
Social cognitive theory and self-determination theory
Stage based theories of behaviour
Transtheoretical model and health action process approach
Social Cognitive Theory
- Proposes that we learn through our experiences
- Triad between cognitive, environment and behaviour that influence individual
- Additionally constructs affecting hypothesis is self-efficacy, outcome expectations, self regulation, barriers and facilitators
Cognitive influences in SCT
- Knowledge
- Expectations
- Attitudes
Environmental influences in SCT
- Social Norms
- Access in community
- Influence on others
Behavioral influences of SCT
- Skills
- Practice
- Self Efficacy
Self-efficacy
One’s belief in their ability to succeed in specific situations
Outcome expectations
One’s belief in the positive and negative consequences that will occur from engaging in the specific behaviour
