Validity and Reliability of the Preference for and Tolerance of the Intensity of Exercise Questionnaire among Chinese College Students

The rising prevalence of physical inactivity is in all age groups (e.g., college students) a major public health issue as not meeting the recommended minimum amount regular activity linked to adverse events. Vice versa, there mounting evidence that achieving vital element prevent chronic diseases, but often an insufficient adherence planned and structured forms (i.e., exercises). In this context, large body indicating exercise is, among other factors, influenced by exercise-related affective responses. Preference for Tolerance Intensity Exercise Questionnaire (PRETIE-Q) has been developed measure these responses specific intensities). So far, no validated Chinese version PRETIE-Q available literature. To address gap literature, present study sample students. Data from total 1117 students were collected analyses concerning factorial validity construct validity. re-test reliability was established using 150 randomly selected participants. addition, level (PA), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), resilience used examine possible links with two domains (preference tolerance) PRETIE-Q. Our results showed good fit (Cronbach’s α 0.72 0.85 preference tolerance, respectively; ICC: r = 0.67 tolerance; indices: χ2 21.612, df 19, p > 0.05, TLI 0.997, CFI 0.998, RMSEA 0.016, SRMR 0.024). Secondly, positive associations intensity-tolerance PA, CRF, observed. summary, indicates sound psychometric properties can be adapted paves way further research on Chinese-speaking samples, although generalizability our findings needs cohorts such adolescents older people without diseases.
