Background and Objectives: Considering the importance of adolescent health and the effectiveness of self-regulation strategies, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of education based on self-regulation strategies on the promotion of physical activity in adolescent girls.
Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2022 on 60 teenage girls referred to the health centers of Ferdous City, Iran. Sampling was performed using a simple random method, and qualified individuals were divided into two intervention (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. The training program based on self-regulation theory was held for the intervention group in 3 sessions. The participants were evaluated in two stages, before and three months after the educational intervention, by completing a standard short questionnaire on physical activity, self-regulation of exercise, and a researcher-made questionnaire for measuring awareness, whose validity and reliability were confirmed. Data analysis was performed using independent and paired t-tests and chi-square test.
Results: Before the educational intervention, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic variables and self-regulation strategies (p>0.05); however, after the educational intervention, a significant difference was observed between the goal setting and planning strategies (p=0.001), and the mean of these variables increased in the intervention group three months after the educational intervention which was 15.36±3.09 and 17.87±6.11 compared to before, 14.95±4.84 and 12.78±3.37, respectively.
Conclusion: Considering the effect of self-regulation strategies on the physical activity of adolescents in this research, it is recommended to pay more attention to training based on these strategies.
