Objective To develop the scientific fitness literacy scale for adults based on the idea of integration of sports and medicine and to test the reliability and validity of the scale,that will provide an evaluation tool for the assessment for adult scientific fitness literacy.Methods Based on the evaluation index system of adult scientific fitness literacy previ-ously constructed by the research group,the three-level indicators were transformed into the specific items of the scale.The content validity of the scale was preliminarily formed through expert consultation and language debugging of scale in small sample preliminary experiment.Convenience sampling method was used to select adults between 18 and 59 years old for questionnaire survey.The 581 valid questionnaires were divided into two parts,of which 300 samples were used for item screening and 281 samples were used to test the reliability and validity.Results Scientific fitness literacy scale consisted of three dimensions of scientific fitness knowledge,scientific fitness attitude,scientific fitness behavior and skills,with a total of 53 items.The S-CVI/Ave of the scale was 0.981 and I-CVI ranged from 0.833 to 1.000.The ex-ploratory factor analysis identified three principal factors and explained for 52.26%variance.Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fitted well with the data(x2/df=2.054,RMSEA=0.061,SRMR=0.049,IFI=0.882,TLI=0.876,CFI=0.881),supporting the three-factor model.The Cronbach's α coefficient of the total scale was 0.964,and the test-retest reliability was 0.871 for the overall scale after two weeks.Conclusion The scientific fitness literacy scale for adults has good reliability and validity.It can be used to assess adult scientific fitness literacy.
