On the contrary, female students tend to avoid physical activity, which leads to a break in physical activity. physical activities during one’s student days is important because it becomes the base of everyday physical activity participation in the future, and further, the base for becoming a healthy citizen. At this point in which various programs to encourage female students' physical activity have emerged, a measuring tool is needed to determine whether these programs are suitable for female students or whether they are programs characterized by female students. Thus, it is important to understand what compromises female students’physical activities and to develop reasonable tools that can measure this. The results that were deduced through the study processes above are summarized as follows. First, female student friendly physical activities are defined as the following: physical activities that allow for female students to participate by their own will, due to changed perception and attitude, coming about from female student collaboration and consideration. This is done through various and interesting contents and material that made just for female students, that also reflect psychological and physical characteristics in the study strategy and methods. Second, as a result of conducting exploratory factor analysis on female student friendly physical activities, a total of 24 questions and 7 factors were deduced (collaboration/consideration, incitement, esthetics, participation, facilities, perception, and attitude). Third, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on the 6 factors (excluding esthetics) deduced from the exploratory factor analysis. As a result, the 6 factors had goodness of fits that were in accordance with standards, and thus construct validity and cross validity were confirmed. The female student friendly physical activity scale that was developed by this study can be said to be a tool that has validity and reliability in measuring female student physical activities. In conclusion, with these study results, the meaning of female student friendly physical activity scale development was shown and implications were presented for follow-up studies.
