State Mindfulness Scale for Physical Activity: Validity and Reliability
Condition: Physical Inactivity
Study type: Observational

Summary: 
      The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) states that physical activity is very
      important for healthy adults as it provides many health and psychological benefits. Physical
      activity is any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that increases energy
      expenditure. physical activity; It is an important health behavior that can have a positive
      impact on physical, cognitive, and social well-being. In the population of athletes who
      qualify as physically active, the focus is not on adapting to exercise or improving physical
      activity. However, the inability of athletes to maintain their lifelong physical activity
      levels after retirement can cause health problems. Because physical activity behavior
      patterns are lifelong, it is important to understand the factors that contribute to physical
      activity.

      Conscious awareness; It is defined as a mindset in the form of being aware of the present
      moment with the features that do not judge, accept and avoid. Mindfulness is often said to
      require both purposeful attention and an accepting attitude. Intention is also considered an
      important part of awareness. There is increasing interest in the role of mindfulness in the
      emergence of positive health outcomes. One possible benefit of mindful practice is that it
      can lead to intrinsic motivation. Until recently, there was no good way to measure the
      specific experience of mindfulness during physical activity to support this recommendation. A
      new scale called the State Mindfulness Scale for Physical Activity has been developed to help
      researchers better understand how people feel about their physical activity.

      The State Mindfulness Scale for Physical Activity is a 12-item scale to measure mindfulness
      during a specific physical activity. The scale is based on the Situational Conscious
      Awareness Scale, which measures objects (mental and physical) and the quality of situational
      conscious awareness. The original scale was not comprehensive enough to capture the full
      spectrum of physical experiences. The State Mindfulness Scale for Physical Activity was
      developed to assess different aspects of mindfulness (mental and physical) during physical
      activity to better understand the physical activity experience. There are six items that use
      awareness of objects of mental experience and six items that use awareness of objects of
      physical or physical experience. State Mindfulness Scale for Physical Activity has been
      successfully adapted to Spanish, Italian and Brazilian.

      Despite the increase in Turkish assessment tools in the field of physical activity in recent
      years, psychological assessment tools are very few. The aim of this study is to translate,
      culturally adapt and validate the Turkish version of the State Mindfulness Scale for Physical
      Activity.
