The research tools included the active lifestyle questionnaire of Beck et al. (1982) and the use of sports media of Shojie (2015). In order to assess the validity of the research tool, the questionnaires were provided to experts and professors related to the research topic to express their opinions and suggestions on how to write the questions, the number of questions, the content of the questions, the relationship of the questions with the options, and the coordination of the questions with the research objectives. After the questionnaires were reviewed by experts and professors and their results were announced, it was determined that all questionnaires had face and content validity and were approved by the professors. Also, Cronbach's alpha test was used to measure the reliability of the research questionnaires, and the results obtained from the Cronbach's alpha test confirmed the reliability of the research questionnaires.
