description: [1] Workplace exercise and educational program for improving fitness outcomes related <br>to health in workers: A randomized controlled trial [2] Acute effects of interrupting sitting <br>on discomfort and alertness of office workers [3] Influence of muscle quality on the <br>differences in strength from slow to fast velocities in career firefighters [4] Implication for <br>office environment ergonomic intervention: a study of local government offices in Katsina <br>state of Nigeria [5] Acute effects of stretching exercise on the soleus muscle of female aged <br>rats [6] Association of self-reported aerobic physical activity, muscle-strengthening <br>physical activity, and stretching behavior with presenteeism [7] Health promotion in <br>nursing practice [8] Ten measurement commandments that often should be broken [9] <br>Factors predicting the stretching exercise behaviors of the office employees working in <br>the Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran [10] Designing and <br>psychometric evaluation of Stretching Exercise Predicting Scale (SEPS) [11] The SCI <br>Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES): Development and psychometric properties [12] <br>Comparison of the original and revised structures of the Health Promotion Model in <br>predicting construction workers’ use of hearing protection [13] Physical activity levels in <br>obese and non-obese women and their relationship with body mass index, perceived self-<br>efficacy, perceived benefits and barriers of exercise, and commitment to a plan of action <br>[14] Psychometric evaluation of the exercise self-efficacy scale among Korean adults with <br>chronic diseases [15] Exercise combined with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy <br>(ExACT) compared to a supervised exercise programme for adults with chronic pain: <br>Study protocol for a randomised controlled trial [16] Clinical trial of tailored activity and <br>eating newsletters with older rural women<br>Aims Commitment to a plan of action key factors is critical for stretching exercise predicting. <br>However, commitment to a plan of action in stretching exercise across the throughout working <br>conditions is far difficult in Iran; there is no measurement to evaluate commitment to a plan <br>of action among workplace office employees. This study aimed at investigating the short form <br>of confirmatory factor analysis commitment to a plan of action scale for stretching exercise <br>predicting among based on health promotion model (HPM).<br>Materials &amp; Methods Using multistage cluster sampling, 385 office employees from Shahid <br>Beheshti University of Medical Sciences of Iran were selected through on a short form of <br>commitment to a plan of action Scale. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor <br>Analysis (CFA) and Cronbach’s alpha were also used.<br>Findings The mean age of the office employees was 39.4±7.76 years. CVI and CVR of each <br>question were &gt;0.7. The result of EFA confirmed one factor or component with the main <br>component technique (commitment to a plan of action) with 71.8% cumulative variance <br>and KMO was 87.2% (p&lt;0.001). This was the good fit index in CFA. The reliability was also <br>explanatory. In the area of CFA, the result showed REMSEA=0.046, GFI=0.907, AGFI=0.814, <br>confirmed with Cronbach’s alpha (α=85.8%) and [ICC =0.74; 95% CI (0.62, 0.74)].<br>Conclusion This study approved the short form of commitment to a plan of action scale for <br>stretching exercise. However, more advice is provided to ensure a reliable and valid tool for <br>realizing stretching exercise behaviors<br>
