Data collected with demographic questionnaire and Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale. Data analyzed with Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Chronbach's Alpha. The findings indicated that Persian translated of Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale had 3 factors with eigenvalue over 1 that explained 48.6, 17.1, and 9.3, and in total about 75% of whole variance. Internal consistency calculated with Chronbach's Alpha yielded correlation .83, .84, .83, and .87 for subscales 1, 2, 3, and total scale, respectively. In general, the results confirmed validity and reliability of Persian translated version of the Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale. The scale can be used for research, educational, and clinical purpose.  The purpose of the study was to examine psychometric properties of Persian version of the Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale.  Statistics population was older adults in urban area of Esfahan from which 293 persons selected.
