title: Validities of the Physical Estimation Scale in predicting running times.
abstract: Two studies were conducted with the purpose of examining the validity of the 12-item Physical Estimation Scale, developed by Safrit and Wood (1985), as a predictor of running performance. Physical Estimation Scale scores were not significantly related to running time at the 5-mi. distance but were significantly correlated with predicted and actual marathon finishing times.
