Findings provided concurrent validation of the OMNI-RES to measure RPE for the active muscle and overall body in young recreationally trained female and male weight lifters performing upper- and lower-body resistance exercise.

Differential support for environmental issues has long provoked the curiosity of researchers. Sociodemographics and political ideology have been the primary focus of much research on the determinants of environmental concern. In light of recent work on environmental paradigms and advanced statistical methodologies, it may be advantageous to reexamine the tenets of this body of work. This study restates the findings of previous studies within a broader causal model, and tests that model using data from a general population survey. Analysis indicated that sociodemographic variables were ineffective in explaining any of three types of environmental concern measured here, but pro-regulatory liberal ideology was a strong predictor of support for environmental regulation. Further research might benefit most by exploring underlying belief structures ratherthan demographic characteristics of the population. These results emphasize the importance of careful specification of measures in studies of environmental concern.

It appears that it is necessary to apply exercise-specific algorithms to the SenseWear Pro Armband to enhance the accuracy of estimating energy expenditure during periods of exercise. When exercise-specific algorithms are used, the SenseWear Pro Armband provides an accurate estimate of energy expenditure when compared to indirect calorimetry during exercise periods examined in this study.

The psycho-physiological responses provide validity evidence for use of the Children's OMNI Scale over a wide range of dynamic exercise intensities.

The psychophysiological responses provide validity evidence for use of the Children's OMNI-walk/run Scale over a wide range of exercise intensities during both walking and running.
