The Malaysia Fitness Facility Grading Scale (MFFGS) Instrumentation Development

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Malaysia Fitness Facility Grading SCALE (MFFGS). To assess the characteristics of good fitness facilities, thirty-three items were established, separated by dimensions. Based on the dimension of a good fitness facility, the instrument was designed through a comprehensive literature research and focus group discussion. The questionnaire was applied as a cross-sectional study and data were collected as establishing factors to confirm and ascertain construct validity. Reliability was tested by measuring internal consistency. Through a rigorous literature study and empirical evidence, the constructs were confirmed. The validity of this MFFGS will aid future studies evaluating the quality of a fitness facility's services. This tool can help academics gain a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of an excellent fitness facility and encourage future research into its possibilities.
