Abstract

Aims: Inactivity among Iranian women is higher than in Iranian men. Since teachers are exposed to occupational damages, it is necessary to consider Physical activity in teachers. The Social-Cognitive Theory (SCT) is a useful framework for understanding Physical activity behavior. Therefore, the present research was aimed to determine Physical activity determinants in female teachers based on SCT. Instrument & Methods: This analytic-cross sectional study was performed on 612 female schoolteachers of all educational levels of urban and rural areas of Rasht County using multi-stage random sampling in the 2019-2020 academic years. The data collection instruments included demographic information, International Physical activity Questionnaire– Short Form, and Social Cognitive Theory Questionnaire. In order to analyze the data, I used Independent Samples t-test, Analysis of Variance, Spearman Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Linear Regression tests in SPSS 21 software. Findings: The age average of the teachers was 40. 25± 7. 65. Of the total, 331 teachers (54. 1%) had light Physical activity (0-599 MET minutes/week). It observed the most direct correlation between self-efficacy (r=0. 439) and exercise planning (r=0. 513) with Physical activity behavior. Constructs of exercise Planning (B=0. 34, p=0. 001) and Self-Efficacy (B=0. 14, p=0. 003) were the most significant predictors of Physical activity and accounted for 17% and 12% of the variance, respectively. Conclusion; Constructs of exercise Planning and Self-Efficacy were the most important predictors of Physical activity that can be used in designing interventions to promote Physical activity in teachers.
