Abstract
Introduction:The reliability and validity of exercise self- efficacy scale (ESS) and its relationship to weight efficacy lifestyle and body mass index among overweight and obese individuals was investigated in this study.
Method: Using convenient sampling method, 343 participants with BMI≥25 eligible toexclude- include criteria were selected among students in Payam Noor university of Semnan province. All of them completed the items of exercise self- efficacy, and weight efficacy lifestyle questionnaires, and their anthropometric indices were measured, too.
Results: Applying 16th version of SPSS internal revealed that that internal coefficient with alpha's Cronbach for exercise self- efficacy was 0.93. Calculating correlation coefficients to WEL, and body mass index were significant (p
