Validation Studies of the Perceived Functional Ability (PFA) Questionnaire/ Physical Activity Rating (PA-R) Questionnaire

George et al. 1996

See reference #50

Methods

Relation between Perceived Functional Ability (PFA) questions and Physical Activity rating (PA-R) questions, to non-exercise (N-Ex) VO_{2 max} estimations. Multiple regression coefficients

Sample

50 male and 50 female college students; 22.3 ± 3.0 years of age

Summary Results

N-Ex VO_{2 max} regression equations:

	MODEL 1		MODEL 2
	B	B-weight	B	B-weight
PFA	0.738**	0.46**	0.724**	0.45**
PA-R	0.688*	0.17*	0.788*	0.20*

* p < 0.001   ** p < 0.0001

Summary Legend:
Model 1: Self-report predictor variables
Model 2: Self-report and measured (BMI) predictor variables
B = multiple regression coefficients
B-weight = standardized multiple regression coefficients
PFA = Perceived Functional Ability
PA-R = Physical Activity rating
N-Ex = Non-exercise VO₂
