Journal Title: Uluslararası Spor Egzersiz ve Antrenman Bilimi dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: This study was conducted to adapt the Physical Activity Efficacy Scale (PAES) consisting of 5 dimensions (ambulatory, household, leisure-time, transportation and school efficacy) and 26 items developed by Campbell et al. (2016) into Turkish in order to evaluate the physical competence of the adolescents in different physical activity fields. Material and Methods: The method of Brislin (1986) was used in translating this scale into Turkish. A total of 205 high school students studying at Science High School and Anatolian High School in Muğla participated in this study voluntarily. Both Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were applied to the data to determine whether the factor structure of the scale was a valid model. Results: According to EFA, factor loadings of all items range from 0,405 to 0,924. Also, according to the reliability analysis, the dimension "in transportation" was quite reliable while all other dimensions were highly reliable. On the other hand, the compliance values of the measurement model according to the CFA results was found as X2=559.7, df = 289, X2/df = 1.93; CFI = 0.950, IFI = 0.951, NFI = 0.903; RMSEA = 0.068. Conclusion: While the compliance measures showed good agreement of X2/df, the values of the other criteria showed acceptable adaptability. As a result, it can be said that PAES was appropriate for Turkish culture and can be used to determine physical activity efficacy in different physical activity fields in adolescents.
