Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring enjoyment of physical activity in adolescent girls
TL;DR: Evidence of factorial validity and convergent evidence for construct validity indicate that the PACES is a valid measure of physical activity enjoyment among adolescent girls, suitable for use as a mediator variable in interventions designed to increase physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of patient determined disease steps (PDDS) scale scores in persons with multiple sclerosis
TL;DR: Novel evidence is provided supporting the PDDS as valid PRO of disability in MS based on the association with Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores and the pattern of associations between PDDS and EDSS scores with Functional System scores as well as ambulatory and other outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity and multiple sclerosis: a meta-analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative synthesis of the difference in physical activity among individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) compared with nondiseased and diseased populations and then examined factors (i.e., moderators) that explain variation in the overall difference of physical activity.
