The study aimed to codify the scale of orientation towards regular physical activity among obese women in the age group (30-35 years), in order to provide a scientific measurement tool that helps trainers in community gyms to design awareness and educational programs that enhance the continuity of physical activity. The researchers adopted the descriptive survey method, and the research population included women between the ages of 30 and 35 who are not overweight. Since the population size was not accurately determined, Cochran's formula was used to determine the sample size, which amounted to 400 trainees. The sample was divided into an exploratory sample (10 trainees) and a control sample (190 trainees) that were randomly selected. The scale consisted of 22 statements, and was applied during the period from October 5 to December 1, 2024. The data was analyzed using SPSS software to extract Z-scores and T-scores and determine standardized levels. The results showed that the scale has good psychometric properties, making it a reliable tool for assessing the orientation towards regular physical activity. The researchers recommended encouraging continuity in physical activity by designing various training plans and using motivational strategies such as group challenges and symbolic rewards to enhance exercise adherence among women in this age group.
