Results: Construct Variance extracted was 0.4, composite reliability 0.9 and Cronbach’s Coefficient Alpha 0.7. As a result, the convergence validity and reliability of the model were acceptable. Divergent validity, convergent validity and discriminant validity of the model were confirmed by first order and second order confirmatory factor analyses. The positive validity of all subscriptions for latent variables indicated the appropriate quality of the measurement model. In this model, it was found that regular physical activity combined with planned behavior had a direct effect of 53% (correlation 0.729) on general health.
