Abstract

PurposeThe goal of the present study was to translate and adapt the scale of enjoyment "Physical activity enjoyment scale" (PACES) and affect "Feeling scale" (FS) into Brazilian Portuguese, as well as to evaluate their reproducibility.MethodFirst, the instruments were translated and adapted to Brazilian Portuguese following the recommendations of previous studies. After translating the instruments, 75 subjects participated in two similar experimental sessions (test-re-test) in which they filled the scales. Intraclass correlation coefficient analyses were conducted to evaluate the reproducibility of the scales.ResultsThe results suggested that the translation was effective, the PACES presented almost perfect reproducibility (CCI=0.910, 95% CI 0.858, 0.943) and FS high reproducibility (CCI=0.644, 95% CI 0.425, 0.779).ConclusionTranslation and cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese of the PACES and FS were effective to measure enjoyment and affect in response to an acute session of physical exercise. The data suggested that in a range of 7-14 days the PACES is reproducible. However, for FS, acquisition of baseline values may increase its reproducibility. (AU)
