Cross-cultural adaptation, a process that looks at both language (translation) and cultural adaptation issues in the process of preparing a questionnaire for use in another setting involves translation, synthesis, back translation, expert committee review, and pretesting.

The secondary aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the UWRI (UWRI-Tr) in a

the concept ( Canadian Sport for Life, 2016 ; Pot & van Hilvoorde, 2013 ). These practices can explained, at least in part, by the critique that physical literacy has a strong philosophical base but lacks a clear translation into practice ( Jurbala, 2015 ; Longmuir & Tremblay, 2016 ; Whitehead
Evaluating the Population Health Impact of Physical Activity Interventions in Primary Care—Are We Asking the Right Questions?
Elizabeth G. Eakin, Ben J. Smith, and Adrian E. Bauman
Background:
This article evaluates the extent to which the literature on primary care-based physical activity interventions informs the translation of research into practice and identifies priorities for future research.
Methods:
Relevant databases were searched for: (1) descriptive studies of physician barriers to physical activity counseling (n = 8), and (2) reviews of the literature on primary care-based physical activity intervention studies (n = 9). The RE-AIM framework was used to guide the evaluation.
Results:
Lack of time, limited patient receptiveness, lack of remuneration, and limited counseling skills are the predominant barriers to physical activity counselling. Issues of internal validity (i.e., effectiveness and implementation) have received much more attention in the literature than have issues of external validity (i.e., reach and adoption).
Conclusions:
The research agenda for primary care-based physical activity interventions needs greater attention to the feasibility of adoption by busy primary care staff, generalizability, and dissemination.

Knowledge Translation Practices, Enablers, and Constraints: Bridging the Research–Practice Divide in Sport Management
Hebe Schaillée, Ramón Spaaij, Ruth Jeanes, and Marc Theeboom
Knowledge translation has emerged as an important area of research activity to enhance the fit between research-based knowledge and its application in policy and practice ( Greenhalgh & Wieringa, 2011 ). National competitive research funding schemes increasingly demand that applicants demonstrate

Translating Tweets in the Soccer Industry: Identity Management and Visibility in a Global Game
Roger Baines
The intersection of professional translation in social media and the highly public-relations (PR)-conscious global industry/culture of soccer raises questions for both sport and communication studies and translation studies—questions about identity management and performance on social media

Translating Questionnaires and Inventories Using a Cross-Cultural Translation Technique
Dominique Banville, Pauline Desrosiers, and Yvette Genet-Volet
With the rise of cultural diversity in populations, researchers are faced with new issues, such as working with participants from other cultures that speak different languages. This research note presents a methodology developed by Vallerand (1989) in the psychological field that translates and validates questionnaires and inventories developed for a specific culture. This cross-cultural technique has seven steps and insures that the instrument will provide data that are valid and reliable in the targeted population. The seven steps are defined, and examples of results from a study using this methodology are provided.
