Self-Reported Physical Activity Levels Among College Students with ADHD
Physical activity (PA) and exercise (PE) are associated with benefits, including improvements in executive functioning (EF). Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience various EF difficulties, and exercise is being explored as a possible intervention for ADHD; thus, activity levels among those with ADHD merit further study. We explored PA and PE among college students by ADHD status and sex. Students ( N = 2086; 6…
Guide to the Assessment of Physical Activity: Clinical and Research Applications
The deleterious health consequences of physical inactivity are vast, and they are of paramount clinical and research importance. Risk identification, benchmarks, efficacy, and evaluation of physical activity behavior change initiatives for clinicians and researchers all require a clear understanding of how to assess physical activity. In the present report, we have provided a clear rationale for the importance of assessing physical activity level…
Development and Validation of a Rating Scale for Wind Jazz Improvisation Performance
The purpose of this study was to construct and validate a rating scale for collegiate wind jazz improvisation performance. The 14-item Wind Jazz Improvisation Evaluation Scale (WJIES) was constructed and refined through a facet-rational approach to scale development. Five wind jazz students and one professional jazz educator were asked to record two improvisations accompanied by an Aebersold play-along compact disc . Sixty-three adjudicators eval…
Body Mass Index in Rural First Grade Schoolchildren
Context: Childhood overweight is a global health problem. Monitoring of childhood body mass index (BMI) may help identify critical time periods during which excess body weight is accumulated. Purpose: To examine changes in mean BMI and the prevalence of at‐risk‐for overweight in repeated cross‐sectional samples of rural first grade schoolchildren between 1999 and 2004. Methods: BMI was determined in 479 first graders from a rural Wyoming school d…
