▼ Physical activity measurements are essential for the evaluation and prevention of childhood obesity. Although physical activity (PA) data are currently collected with accelerometry, using the existing accelerometers had limitation with cost efficiency issues. The Best Fit Friend (BFF), a new accelerometer PA monitor system, was develop to solve the cost issue; however, validity of BFF to measure the PA in preschool children is still not clear. The primary purpose of this thesis was to examine the feasibility of BFF accelerometer for measure 3 to 5 year-olds preschoolers’ PA measurement. Based on the parental response and participant’s feedback, research and device feasibility were estimated. The second purpose was to validate the BFF accelerometer though a comparison with ActiGraph. Pearson correlation showed a moderate-high and/or high correlation between BFF accelerometer and ActiGraph. The third purpose was to clarify the difference of attachment placement: wrist and waist. Wilcoxon signed ranks test was to examine the statistical difference between dominant hand and non-dominant hand (Z = 4.99, p < .000, d = -.481), whereas there was not statistical differ with left wrist and waist, back and waist (Z = -1.39, p < .165, d = .130; Z = -.529, p < .597, d = -.050). The fourth purpose was to calibrate the BFF accelerometer to establish cut-off points. ROC curve analysis was performed. The last purpose was to decide the best placement of BFF accelerometer for children’s PA measurement. Based on comparison between AUC and cut-off, waist and back placements was the best BFF location, and right wrist, waist, and back conduct the best cut-off points. Overall, the BFF is a valid device to measure PA in preschool children ranged from 3 to 5 years old.

▼ Physical function decline is a common trajectory with aging. Physical function questionnaires have been widely used in occupational/physical therapy to assess adults’ physical function. However, most research only focuses on physical function itself. Rich patterns or profile information of the underlying physical fitness embedded in physical function questionnaires were overlooked. In addition, the associations between chronic diseases and physical fitness trait deficiencies are still less well known. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to apply a diagnostic model that can help diagnose adults’ underlying physical fitness traits based on their self-reported physical function. This study invited three experts in the areas of physical function and physical fitness to develop a Q-matrix to be used in the diagnostic model development. Three diagnostic models were employed with the developed Q-matrix to an existing dataset (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System [PROMIS], N = 942, 51.17% women). The most appropriate diagnostic model was selected and participants’ physical fitness trait statuses were estimated. Descriptive analyses and multiple logistic regressions were conducted to identify associations between physical fitness trait deficiencies and age/chronic diseases. A secondary data source of physical function questionnaires and performance-based fitness tests from a Chinese Parkinson’s disease group (N = 45, 60% women) was used to cross-validate the diagnostic model. The results showed that the prevalence of several physical fitness trait deficiencies gradually increased with aging, even after controlling for other demographic variables including sex, race, education level completed, marital status, family income, body weight status, and chronic diseases. The odds of all five physical fitness trait deficiencies were significantly higher in obese individuals than in normal weight individuals. This study found significant relationships between some chronic diseases and physical fitness trait deficiencies. The validation results confirmed that the diagnostic model selected by this study can be used to diagnose people with deficiencies in lower-body muscular strength, upper-body flexibility, aerobic endurance, balance, and fine motor skill. This study contributes to exercise intervention and program design by paying attention to stressing the importance of physical fitness diagnoses.

▼ For the past three decades, the prevalence of childhood obesity has been on the rise and correspondingly engagement time in sedentary activities has escalated. In contrast, interest, and participation rates in physical education classes are declining. Fun and interesting physical activity (PA) games could help to prevent the decline and possibly reverse inactivity. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a Physical Activity Playability Scale (PAGPS) in order to provide more detailed “game information” assisting end users (e.g., policy makers, PE teachers, et al.) in choosing the “best possible” children’s PA games. A two-stage development and validation process was employed for this study. Five content experts (N=5) were recruited to draft and develop the PAGPS scale. By applying the heuristic approach, content experts selected, reviewed, commented, evaluated, and eventually determined the relevant PA games factors/subscales, which helped in establishing the content validity evidence for the PAGPS. Ten factors that were identified to represent game domain were Fun, Social, Cognitive, Physical, Skills, Game Structure, Language, Environment, Game Difficulty, and Player’s Characteristics, and a total of 116 items were developed for these factors. Two hundred PE teachers (N=200) were recruited in Malaysia to further determine the most suitable items for the PAGPS. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was chosen to systematically trim the large amount of variables but maintain as much of the information from the PAGPS (draft) data set. A six-factor construct (with 99 items), including fun and social, cognitive, physical and skills, games structure and environment, game difficulty and player’s characteristics and language were confirmed for the PAGPS. Rasch Analysis, an item response theory approach, was then chosen for the item reduction process by taking advantage of the analysis (i.e., invariance, ability to locate all facets on a same scale, and additive) over the classical testing theory based approach. Items were deleted based upon three criterions: goodness-of-fit statistics, item difficulty (logits), and content balance. As a result, four shorter PAGPS versions were created, with 51-item, 36-item, 28-item and 20-item, respectively. The 51-item version was chosen because of its high correlation (r = .98) with the original 99-item version and its balanced content coverage. Cronbach’s alpha analysis was also performed to determine the internal structural consistency. Ten Malaysian PA games were selected to validate the 51-item PAGPS (Game Rating Scale), including One-Leg, Kali-Tui, Blind Man’s Bluff, Simon Says, Eagle and Hen, Hopscotch, Police and Thief, Duck Duck Goose, Monkey in the Middle, and Mr. Wolf. Sixty children (N=60) consisting of two age-groups (Grade 2: n= 30, Grade 5: n= 30) were recruited to play all ten PA games, their reactions towards each game were video-recorded for rating purposes. Ten raters (N=10) scored each PA game video (10 videos for Grade 2 and 10 videos for Grade 5,… Advisors/Committee Members: Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Zhu%2C%20Weimo%22%29&pagesize-30">Zhu, Weimo (advisor), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Zhu%2C%20Weimo%22%29&pagesize-30">Zhu, Weimo (Committee Chair), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Sydnor%2C%20Synthia%22%29&pagesize-30">Sydnor, Synthia (committee member), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Woods%2C%20Amy%22%29&pagesize-30">Woods, Amy (committee member), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Bost%2C%20Kelly%22%29&pagesize-30">Bost, Kelly (committee member).

▼ People often have difficulties in making decisions when a judgment of multiple criteria simultaneously is a part of the decision-making. Fortunately, the method like Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been developed to assist the multi-criteria decision making. Yet, AHP has not been introduced to the field Kinesiology. The purpose of this study, using a study of selecting quality athletic shoes for walking, was to introduce AHP to Kinesiology. People often have a difficulty in selecting quality walking shoes because of many alternatives and multiple criteria that can cause conflicts in evaluating alternatives. Forty participants (20 males and 20 female; Age: M = 28.72 and SD = 10.87) were recruited from a Midwestern shoe store for the study and they were classified two age groups (19-24 yrs. and over 25 yrs.). A two-stage decision strategy was employed for the study. In the first stage, the number of alternatives was lowered to a manageable level and the participants were asked to make a selection decision from a consideration set of shoes formed for the study. In the second stage, the participants were asked to make a selection decision with the assistance of AHP. The AHP method was compared to self-explication method—natural way of making choices without interventions. The decision effectiveness in the consideration set, the AHP method, as well as the relationship between the consideration set and the AHP method, were investigated. It was found that, when forming a consideration set and putting on shoes and walking around the store for a while, technical feature and brand was significant shoe attributes to affect the participants’ decision on shoe selection. In making further preferred choices from the consideration set after a shoe test, however, quality, the shoe attribute added after the shoe-test, and technical feature played significant roles in affecting the decision. No significant difference in the quality of a consideration set, which was evaluated by the number of quality shoes within a consideration set, was detected between two age and gender groups; but there a significant interaction effect between age and gender. AHP was a useful tool to help consumers to make a good decision—selecting quality athletic shoes for walking according to perceived preference—according three evaluation outcomes: the consistency of preference, the effectiveness of AHP, and the satisfaction to AHP. The relationship of the number of quality shoes within a consideration set was significant with the consistency, but with the effectiveness and satisfaction of AHP.

▼ The purpose of this dissertation was two-fold: 1) to determine the role of feedback in force production accuracy, variability, and shape and 2) to determine whether sensory feedback mediates age-related difference in force production accuracy, variability, and shape across effectors. The premise of these experiments was that the type of sensory feedback would influence discrete force production. In order to test this premise, two experiments were conducted. Experiment 1 involved 72 college-aged participants (mean=23.4 years old, SD=4.22) randomly assigned to one of four groups (a no feedback, grayscale, auditory, and visual feedback condition). Sensory feedback was equated by determining one’s average ability to discriminate different feedback modalities (i.e., auditory, grayscale, and visual feedback). Participants produced isometric force via elbow flexion to match a Gaussian template waveform with a peak force of 90 N and a time to peak force at 200 ms. Each participant completed 90 trials. Force production accuracy and shape was indexed for each trial. Force production accuracy was assessed with absolute error (AE) of peak force, time to peak force, and mean squared error. Absolute error of peak force was computed by taking the absolute value of the actual peak force minus the criterion peak force (i.e., 90 N). Absolute error of time to peak force was computed by taking the absolute value of the actual time to peak force minus the criterion time to peak force (i.e., 200 ms). Mean squared error (MSE) was computed by taking the summation of squares of the criterion trajectory minus actual trajectory then dividing this value by the number of points. Force variability was assessed using the standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) of impulse, peak force, time to peak force, and peak rate of force production. Force pulse shape was assessed with mean skewness, mean kurtosis and the mean, standard deviation (SD), and coefficient of variation (CV) of the inflection point of a logistic fit. Inflection point is the midpoint of the logistic curve. Results from Experiment 1 indicated feedback influenced AE of peak force, MSE, CV of peak force and time to peak force, skewness, kurtosis, inflection point, and curve length. The type of feedback was found to influence temporal measures. The force shape analysis revealed auditory, grayscale and visual feedback resulted in more symmetric force pulse shapes than without feedback. In Experiment 2, 12 young (mean=23.5±3.3 years) and 11 old (mean=73.2±6 years) produced isometric force with auditory or visual feedback via elbow flexion or jaw elevation to a Gaussian waveform template. The Gaussian waveform template had a peak of 50 N and a time to peak of 200 ms. Each participant performed 70 trials and the last 40 trials were used for analysis. The same dependent variables used in Experiment 1 were used in Experiment 2. Results indicated effector x feedback interactions on force production accuracy and SD of impulse.

▼ Context: An individual’s risk of injury and his/her ability to balance is linked in a cyclical relationship that outlines the necessity of balance assessment tools in the diagnosis, prevention and rehabilitation of injuries. Despite this necessity, many challenges present in relation to assessment protocols and utility. For concussion assessment, the Balance Error Scoring System and Sensory Organization Test provide tools that are sensitive and cost effective but neither measure is both. The unique nature of the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) may provide both a cost effective and sensitive measure of balance for concussion assessment though the current protocol may not even be sufficient. The Condition-Modified Star Excursion Balance Test (CM-SEBT) uses the original SEBT protocol under conditions of altered sensory inputs to challenge the balance mechanism. Objective: To examine reliability and validity of the CM-SEBT in comparison to other commonly used balance measures. Design: Repeated measures design. Setting: Research laboratory. Participants: Forty-seven healthy, young adults (20 males: 21.152.48 yrs, 82.7214.62 kg, 179.367.55 cm; 27 females: 22.704.21 yrs, 66.5614.47 kg, 162.517.08 cm) voluntarily participated in this study. All participants reported no pathologies or medicinal intake that altered balance while enrolled in the study. Interventions: Each participant underwent testing on three different measures of balance during two test sessions. Test sessions were separated by 57.7224.19 (median=50) days. Each participant performed on the Balance Error Scoring System, Sensory Organization Test, and the CM-SEBT. The altered conditions of the CM-SEBT included: stable surface-eyes open (SO), stable surface-eyes closed (SC), unstable surface-eyes open (UO), and unstable surface-eyes closed (UC). Main Outcome Measures: Intra-class correlation coefficients [ICC(2,1)&ICC(2,k)] were calculated using singular and average measures for reach direction by condition to evaluate test-retest reliability. These values were used in the determination of clinically applicable guidelines in the detection of pathological conditions. Additionally, CM-SEBT reach distance was compared to posturography measures, the Sensory Organization Test, and the Balance Error Scoring System. Results: The reliability of the CM-SEBT was best when using an average of three measured trials, ranging between 0.73-0.92 depending on gender, condition and reach direction. At the 95% confidence interval, clinical cut-off scores for normalized average scores were determined for each direction and condition since these scores indicated the highest reliability. Combined gender cut-off scores by direction and condition are as follows: anterior reach direction - SO=0.08, SC=0.10, UO=0.16, UC=0.08; medial reach direction: SO=0.11, SC=0.17, UO=0.08, UC=0.13; and posterior reach direction: SO=0.18, SC=0.11, UO=0.23, UC=0.20. Male and female differences were minimal but increases in the posterior direction, especially on an unstable surface.

▼ The relationship between physical activity (PA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is well established; however, questions about the appropriate dose of PA to reduce CVD risk still remain (Blair, LaMonte, & Nichaman, 2004; Pate et al., 1995). The optimal dose and the effects of intensity, duration, and frequency of PA are not fully understood (Haskell et al., 2007). This study connects objectively measured PA with a cross-sectional measure of CVD risk for an in-depth analysis of PA patterns that contribute to higher risk of CVD. Specifically, this study applied machine learning algorithms to NHANES accelerometer data from the 2003-2006 cohorts with the Reynolds cardiovascular risk score as the outcome. Using accelerometer data as a proxy for the Reynold's risk score to study cardiovascular disease risk allows the use of cross-sectional data when the longitudinal outcome is not known. A major benefit of using accelerometers to objectively measure of PA is that the data is easy and inexpensive to obtain. Furthermore, most locomotive activities are measured with a high degree of accuracy. Accelerometers can gather highly detailed information about an individual’s PA pattern over extended periods of time. This produces a large amount of data that requires specialized techniques to analyze. The analysis for this study was conducted using a variety of machine learning techniques to identify individual patterns in the data and evaluate what contributes most to high CVD risk. Comparison of machine learning algorithms shows that all classifiers perform well when given appropriate features. Using predefined intensity thresholds to compute average time spent in a PA category yielded good classification results in identifying study participants at high and low risk for CVD (Troiano et al., 2008). Adding PA pattern-related features to the model did not appear to improve classification. Features derived using k-means and the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) performed on the level of using predefined intensity thresholds, indicating that data driven methods may be used for feature extraction without relying on prior knowledge of the data. In general, the lasso regression, support vector machines (SVM) and random forest (RF) classifiers all performed well on large sets of data-driven features, achieving greater than 82% classification accuracy when time spent in PA intensity categories was combined with k-means and HMM-derived inputs. Neural networks performed well on smaller uncorrelated feature sets, and decision trees produced consistent results with the most transparency and interpretability. With respect to physical activity recommendations, the findings indicate that gender and time spent in lifestyle minutes (760-2019 intensity counts) play a key role in classifying CVD risk. Thus, a greater emphasis on gender specific recommendations focusing on lifestyle minutes in addition to moderate and vigorous activity may be necessary. Furthermore, time spent in the activity categories, not how PA is spread throughout the day and week… Advisors/Committee Members: Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Zhu%2C%20Weimo%22%29&pagesize-30">Zhu, Weimo (advisor), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Zhu%2C%20Weimo%22%29&pagesize-30">Zhu, Weimo (Committee Chair), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Buchner%2C%20David%22%29&pagesize-30">Buchner, David (committee member), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Liang%2C%20Feng%22%29&pagesize-30">Liang, Feng (committee member), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Wilund%2C%20Kenneth%22%29&pagesize-30">Wilund, Kenneth (committee member).

▼ Optimization of a complex process or system is often a task utilized in industrial engineering where specialized Designs of Experiments (DOEs) are used. Optimization for the purpose of finding the ideal condition of a product or process is a novel concept in kinesiology. In kinesiology research comparing 3 or more multi-level independent variables (IVs) is rarely conducted. In optimization DOE studies, each IV is a multi-level independent variable and all combinations of these variables are studied simultaneously with a factorial DOE approach or method. One such method is the Taguchi Method (TM), which is a robust industrial engineering optimization DOE method developed by Dr. Genichi Taguchi in post WWII Japan. The TM was created for the purpose of developing a product or process in a cost effective and efficient manner. To conserve resources the TM relies on fractional factorial orthogonal arrays, which require half or less of all possible linear combinations (LC). The TM works best when the materials under study behave uniformly. When the material behaves uniformly only a few replications of a LC are needed. In optimization studies with humans, humans are the material, and often humans behave non-uniformly which requires many repeat observations of LCs to achieve stable results. The purpose of this study was to validate the use of the TM in a kinesiology and athletic training application using humans along with determining what sample size produces consistent results in a TM study. For this study, the reduction in ankle inversion motion was studied by manipulating ankle taping variables relating to how thick the tape was applied, how high up the lower leg tape was applied, and how thick the prewrap was applied. Each independent variable (IV) was studied at two levels using the same ankle taping pattern. A TM orthogonal linear array four (L4) and a full factorial array were compared to see how close the two arrays optimal results were in value. For score stability progressively smaller sample sizes were analyzed. Video and inclinometery based motion analyses were used to measure the amount of ankle inversion motion, and the amount of plantar flexion. In addition, the weight of each participant’s ankle taping for each LC was measured for cost comparison. No TM based environmental variables where used in this study. Repeated measures statistical analysis was used which involved each participant being tested in each of the taping LCs, a no tape condition, and a durable ankle brace condition. The participants had no history of ankle injury in the past 12 months. The results of this study showed the TM identifying the same optimal LC parameters as the full factorial approach. The results also showed that the TM’s estimated optimal condition value was consistent with the optimal value found with the full factorial approach. To achieve statically significant results a sample size of n = 34 was needed in this study, but if the main emphasis of the researcher was in identifying meaningful difference between LC for… Advisors/Committee Members: Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Zhu%2C%20Weimo%22%29&pagesize-30">Zhu, Weimo (advisor), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Zhu%2C%20Weimo%22%29&pagesize-30">Zhu, Weimo (Committee Chair), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Iwamoto%2C%20Gary%22%29&pagesize-30">Iwamoto, Gary (committee member), Champaign%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Sosnoff%2C%20Jacob%20J.%22%29&pagesize-30">Sosnoff, Jacob J.

▼ Unprecedented urban development has happened to China in the past several decades, generating countless skyscrapers and a much more compacted living environment for a majority of its people. During the same period, lifestyles changed accordingly. Physical inactivity, once an exotic term to most Chinese people, became one of the leading risk factors for mortality. To encourage more physical activities as a means to improve public health, the Chinese government proposed the National Fitness Program and put it into practice. One significant approach applied by the program is to build “fitness trails” in available public spaces for nearby residents. However, these trails, consisting a limited amount of exercise equipment, are often obsolete and abandoned places risking the health and safety of nearby residents. This leaves us a big challenge in planning and design. To what extent can we use research, knowledge, and systematic design thinking from landscape architecture to flip existing fitness trails over into engaging health enhancements for the wellbeing of all? This thesis examined current conditions of 30 different urban fitness trails in the city of Guangzhou and conducted an in-depth analysis of two typical urban fitness trail cases in Liuyun community. By research and analysis, a set of design guidelines was created and prepared for future practices. In response to design strategies provided, a comprehensive fitness trail design in Liuyun community was made for illustration. Through investigation, it is apparent that many of the urban fitness trails were unwisely built in locations and poorly considered in design components. By a more inclusive understanding of health, various health-promoting factors including mental health, social wellbeing, and healthy food were brought into design rather than physical activity only. In the illustrative design chapter, constructive design ideas and solutions were made and explained, with hope to set up the stage for related practitioners.

▼ Physical inactivity is the second leading modifiable risk of chronic disease. Habitual inactivity prevents young adults from developing healthy patterns of physical activity during the important transition from adolescence to adulthood. Consistent levels of inactivity thus pose a critical, life-long health risk. One promising approach to promoting physical activity is to embed physical activity in daily life by promoting active travel as ways to commute and recreate. A growing body of evidence indicates that certain environmental characteristics promote active lifestyles in general or promote specific kinds of physical activity such as walking or biking. However, studies have also reported inconsistent and sometimes contradictory results of the influence of environment on active travel. These inconsistencies and contradictions stem partly from the challenges of collecting valid data regarding the environmental features and of the locations where people actually travel. The inconsistent results may also stem from the discrepancy between the measured environment and the perceived environment. These challenges prevent us from understanding the strength of the association between environmental features and travel behaviors, and thereby limit the potential to use research results to guide evidenced-based urban design and planning. This dissertation explores and reduces the research gaps regarding these sets of challenges. First, to better measure an individual’s travel behavior in a convenient and cost-effective manner, I tested the applicability of using a smartphone application that I developed to simultaneously collect location, time, and accelerometer data, and developed a method to automatically classify these data into different travel modes. Second, to overcome the Uncertain Geographic Context Problem (UGCP), I measured the built environmental features at the places where active travel occurred. Then, I modeled the active travel behaviors based on the environmental features using mixed logistic regression. Third, to complement the statistical models, and to reveal people’s own perspectives about the characteristics of the environment that support active travel, I examined geo-tagged photo narrative that the participants provided. These photo narratives reveal information that grows directly from the users of the environment about the specific features of the built environment. Results from the smartphone data classification demonstrated that smartphone devices are capable of capturing data that reveal how, where, and when people travel. The classification system used in this study achieved more than 80% accuracy in the detection of the type of travel mode people took. Results from the statistical analysis of the relationship between environment and travel behavior showed that greenness was consistently and positively associated with more recreational active travel than vehicle travel in both cities. Destinations in general showed a positive relationship with utilitarian active travel behavior.

▼ K-12 online physical education (OLPE) is as an educational opportunity in at least 22 states in the US (NASPE, 2006; 2010). Clearly, teachers play important roles in these online educational experiences, so gaining a better understanding of these teachers is critical. The purpose of this study was to examine physical education teacher educators’ attitudes toward and understanding of K-12 OLPE. Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory (1986), which is comprised of the interaction between behavior, personal factors, and environmental factors served as the theoretical framework for this study. Data were collected utilizing semi-structured open-ended interviews. Participants (N=25) were current physical education teacher education (PETE) faculty members at universities granting a bachelor’s degree in physical education certification. Participants were randomly selected using a stratified sampling technique based on the Carnegie classification of their universities. Data were analyzed using the constant comparative method as well as inductive and deductive analysis. Deductive analysis was viewed through the lens of the Social Cognitive Theory. Results of this study indicate that PETE faculty are aware that online education is available K-12; however, they are generally not cognizant of K-12 OLPE. Participants believed that NASPE (2004) National Physical Education Standards could be met online, except for Standard 1, which relates to motor skill competency. Participants were almost unanimous in their belief that OLPE should not be available to elementary-aged children, but is a viable option at the high school level. This study provided initial insight into PETE faculty members’ knowledge about and perceptions of K-12 OLPE, however additional research is warranted.
