Key result
The Japanese version of the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES-J) demonstrated robust reliability and validity, confirming 80% of the hypotheses with moderate correlation to the GSES.
Why the study?
Existing physical activity self-efficacy scales focus on moderate-to-vigorous exercise in healthy adults, leaving limited options for individuals engaged in light-to-moderate physical activity.
Is the Japanese version of the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES-J) valid and reliable for assessing light-to-moderate physical activity in older people undergoing lower extremity arthroplasty?
Observational (n=113)
Is the Japanese version of the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES-J) valid and reliable for assessing light-to-moderate physical activity in older people undergoing lower extremity arthroplasty?
The Japanese version of the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale is a valid and reliable tool for assessing self-efficacy for light-to-moderate physical activity in older patients undergoing lower-limb arthroplasty.

Supports ESES-J for light-to-moderate activity self-efficacy in Japanese arthroplasty patients; leaves open broader validation.
Current self-efficacy scales for physical activity focus on moderate-to-vigorous exercise in healthy adults, leaving limited options for those engaged in light-to-moderate physical activity. This study aimed to develop a Japanese version of the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES-J) tailored for light-to-moderate-intensity activities and to assess its validity and reliability. Preoperative and postoperative patients undergoing lower-limb arthroplasty (113 participants) were evaluated using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) to establish criterion-related validity. The revised version of the Short Questionnaire to Assess Health-Enhancing Physical Activity, Oxford Hip Score, or Oxford Knee Score, and accelerometers were used to test the hypotheses. The ESES-J demonstrated strong internal consistency, good intraclass coefficient scores, and no systematic errors in the Bland-Altman analysis. The correlation with the GSES was moderate, confirming 80% of the hypotheses. The ESES-J demonstrated robust reliability and validity. Understanding self-efficacy among individuals with disabilities may lead to personalized health support to improve physical activity levels.

Matsumura et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Lower extremity arthroplasty (n=113). Japanese version of the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES-J) was evaluated on Validity and reliability (internal consistency, intraclass coefficient, Bland-Altman analysis, correlation with GSES). The Japanese version of the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES-J) demonstrated robust reliability and validity, confirming 80% of the hypotheses with moderate correlation to the GSES.
