| Abstract: | The Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2) is broadly used in research and clinical settings. The author aimed to translate and investigate the content, criteria, and construct validity and reliability of the TGMD-2 for Brazilian children. The study involved translators, experts, and 3,124 Brazilian children from several states of Brazil. Results confirmed language clarity and pertinence of the TGMD-2. Appropriate indices of the confirmatory factorial validity (root mean square error of approximation = .06; comparative fit index = .88; Tucker-Lewis index = .83; normed fit index = .09; goodness-of-fit index = .98; adjusted goodness-of-fit index = .95), test-retest (values from .83 to .91) and inter- and intrarater reliability were found. Concurrent validity between TGMD-2 and Movement Assessment Battery for Children was weak. The TGMD-2 is a validity and reliability instrument for Brazilian children. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
