Psychometric parameters of the International Fitness Scale – brazilian version - online and print
Abstract
With technological advances, online surveys have become increasingly common, which makes online fitness assessment feasible. We aimed to assess the construct validity and test the reliability of the International Fitness Scale – Brazilian version (IFIS – BRA) in online format compared to the printed version. Participants were adolescents (n = 294), aged between 12 to 17 years, of both sexes. Adolescents answered the printed and online version of the IFIS – BRA in two moments, with an interval of two weeks between applications. Reliability of all items was classified as “substantial”. A mean agreement was found for all items, classified as “perfect” (69.7%) and “perfectly acceptable” (97.1%). We can affirm that the online version of the IFIS – BRA, reached adequate levels of psychometric performance, thus assuring its use by health professionals and researchers as a reliable alternative means of assessing physical fitness in Brazilian adolescents.
