Development and validation of a questionnaire for table tennis teaching in physical education by Miguel Ángel Ortega-Zayas, Antonio José Cardona-Linares, Alberto Quílez, Alejandro García-Giménez, Miguel Lecina, Francisco Pradas

“…On the other hand, the validation results indicated that the factor structure of the RSAS scale was able to explain 46.72% of the variance (F1 = 13.93%; F2 = 10.97%; F3 = 8.57%; F4 = 6.85%; F5 = 6.38). It can be concluded that the structure of the RSAS is fully confirmed by the statistical analyses derived from the different models of structured equations and confirmatory factor analysis, suggesting that the validated model optimally addresses the data provided and contributes to the validation of the questionnaire under study.…”
