Abstract

Despite proving the undeniable role and importance of physical activity in maximizing physical, mental, and social health and social health from childhood to old age, different societies are still suffering from inactivity, globesity, and subsequent health problems and despite the importance of women's health and maternal roles in achieving the family and community health, women are generally more sedentary and less activate than men, so that 45.3% of Iranian men and 61.9% of Iranian women do not have adequate physical activity. This is even though routine-based interventions in some countries about increasing physical activity in line with implementing the recommendations of the World Health Organization by 2030 are not effective. This mini-review intends to introduce barriers and drivers in addressing women's physical activity, suggest motivational and new methods and explain the psychological facilitators of behavior and pay attention to the importance of supportive environments and the SDT conceptual framework in improving self-regulation and promoting physical activity‎.
