Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of the study is to validate the 54-item Fitness Switching Costs Scale (FSCS). The FSCS consists of a third-order formative construct with four second-order formative constructs and 11 first-order reflective constructs. Although there was support for the reliability and validity of higher-order constructs, validity of the 11 first-order subscales has not been systematically investigated. Study 1 (n = 441) evaluates the factor structure of the first-order subscales using exploratory factor analysis and ensures the factorial validity of the subscales. Study 2 (n = 415) examines the measurement precision of the 11 first-order subscales using item response theory and shows high levels of measurement precision, while identifying some areas for improvement at the item level. Overall, the findings suggest that health and fitness researchers and practitioners can use the FSCS as a diagnostic tool to identify areas for a potential investment.

适合度转换成本量表（FSCS）的验证：检验因子结构和测量精度

摘要本研究旨在验证54项健身转换成本量表（FSCS）。FSCS由一个三阶形成结构、四个二阶形成结构和11个一阶反射结构组成。尽管高阶结构的信度和有效性得到了支持，但11个一阶分量表的有效性尚未得到系统的研究。研究1（n = 441）使用探索性因子分析来评估一阶分量表的因子结构，并确保分量表的析因有效性。研究2（n = 415）使用项目反应理论检验了11个一阶分量表的测量精度，并显示出高水平的测量精度。总的来说，研究结果表明，健康和健身研究人员和从业者可以将FSCS作为一种诊断工具，来确定潜在投资领域。

期刊介绍： The scope of Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (MPEES) covers original measurement research, special issues, and tutorials within six substantive disciplines of physical education and exercise science. Six of the seven sections of MPEES define the substantive disciplines within the purview of the original research to be published in the journal: Exercise Science, Physical Activity, Physical Education Pedagogy, Psychology, Research Methodology and Statistics, and Sport Management and Administration. The seventh section of MPEES, Tutorial and Teacher’s Toolbox, serves to provide an outlet for review and/or didactic manuscripts to be published in the journal. Special issues provide an avenue for a coherent set of manuscripts (e.g., four to five) to collectively focus in-depth on an important and timely measurement-related issue within the scope of MPEES. The primary aim of MPEES is to publish high-impact manuscripts, most of which will focus on original research, that fit within the scope of the journal.
