Abstract :Aim: The aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable scale to assess exercise attitudes in adult individuals. Methods: This research was conducted using a survey model with 668 participants aged between 18 and 55. The scale items were developed based on a literature review and expert opinions from professionals in exercise, sports-health, and measurement and evaluation. Content validity was assessed through expert evaluation; construct validity was tested using exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA). Results: EFA revealed a structure of 16 items across four sub-dimensions (mental, psychological, physical, social), explaining 55.085% of total variance. CFA fit indices (RMSEA=0.037, CFI=0.967, X²/df=1.527) confirmed the model’s validity. Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients ranged from 0.80 to 0.94, and test-retest reliability coefficients ranged from 0.73 to 0.85. Conclusion: The developed scale is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating the exercise attitudes of adult individuals.
