Aim: To linguistically homologate the SFGS scale in a sample of the Chilean population from English to Spanish. Material and Method: Three Chilean kinesiologists with English proficiency translated the SFGS scale into Spanish. A committee developed a first version of the SFGS in Spanish. Subsequently, a professional from the Chilean-British Institute translated the first version back into English (back-translation). The committee defined the second version of the SFGS.
