To benefit from long-term advantages of exercise, exercise "self-regulation" is needed. The Exercise Self-regulation Questionnaire (SRQ-E) is a 16-item scale designed to measure factors of exercise self-regulation. The Purpose of the present study was to determine psychometric properties of the Exercise Self-regulation Questionnaire in sport clubs athletes in Fars city. Using cluster sampling, 256 athletes from 7 clubs in Fars province took part in the study. Findings from rotated factor matrix indicated four factors of self-regulation that marshaled internal regulation, identified regulation, external regulation, and introjected regulation which determined 48.76% for men & 54.64% for women of total variance explaining self-regulation. Data indicated high level of Cronbach’s alpha (0.80 and 0.67, for men and women, respectively) and split-half (0.79 and 0.62, for men and women, respectively) reliability coefficients of the Exercise Self-Regulation Questionnaire totally. The convergent validity of the questionnaire was between 0.44 and 0.71. Therefore, the Exercise Self-Regulation Questionnaire has qualified to assesse self-regulation of young athletes by researchers.
