Article Synopsis
- The PLAYself is a tool used to measure physical literacy in children and teens, but there's no similar tool for adults; this study focuses on evaluating its effectiveness in young adults aged 18-25.
- Researchers analyzed data from 245 participants using various statistical methods to determine the reliability and structure of the PLAYself subsections.
- The study found that the Physical Literacy Self-Description subsection had the best reliability and could potentially serve as a useful assessment tool for young adults' physical literacy until better options are available.
Objective: To develop and validate a concise survey that will identify athletes who possess elevated injury risk.
Design: Cohort study.
Setting: National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I athletic program.
