Participants were asked to rate each item on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disegree) to 7 (strongly agree). Principle Component Factor Analysis with Varimax Rotation for testing factor structure of Turkish version of SSQRS-38 supported 10 factor structures for 304 exercise participants and 38 items explains % 73 of variance. The internal consistency (Cronbach Alpha) value for 304 exercise participants were ranged from .72 (operating time) to .91 (design).
