Background and Objective: Nowadays, the importance of
physical activity as a health promoting behavior has been well documented. The
purpose of this study was prediction of transtheorical model (TTM)’s
constructs on regular physical activity among medical students. Materials and Methods: This study was a descriptive-analytic
research that carried out on 307 medical students at Shahed University using
census method in 2011. The instruments of data collection were demographic and
standard scale of seven-day physical activity recall (PAR), and benefits scale
& barriers scale. The TTM guided instrument
development. Collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 16. Results: The findings of descriptive statistics showed that
mean age of students was 22.28 years (SD = 2.6) and 69.4% of participants were
women. Mean of weekly physical activity in all of the students
was 175.17 minutes, SD: 172.04, but in men a little more than women. The
finding of analytic statistics showed that regression analysis predict that if
1 score increase to total scores of benefits caused 7 scores in addition to
total scores of physical activity and 1 score
increase to total scores of barriers caused 12 scores decrease to total scores
of physical activity. Conclusion: Those findings and using TTM constructs
will help practitioners for intervention
and to improve the physical activity among university students.
