Purpose: To develop and provide initial psychometric support for a 16-item measure that assesses a new construct termed desire for physical competence (DPC)

Purpose: Recent studies evaluating physical activity programming in independent living facilities reveal that oftentimes programs have poor attendance rates, with difficulty in motivating older residents identified as a primary barrier. To better understand how to promote physical activity in the independent living setting, a brief cognitive-behavioral feedback intervention was evaluated as a means to mobilize older adults to attend introductory activity programs.

Purpose: This study was conducted to describe lower extremity muscle morphology (volume and peak cross-sectional area (CSA)) in young athletes and compare these with previously reported values. A second aim was to determine if muscle morphological values differ significantly between sides, implying that unilateral measurements cannot represent both limbs accurately.
