Muhtasari	The Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES), developed by Kendzierski and DeCarlo (1991), is a 16-item measure of the positive affective responses and enjoyment experienced during or after physical activity. Based on the premise that enjoyment is a powerful predictor of exercise adherence and intrinsic motivation, PACES assesses feelings such as pleasure, fun, satisfaction, and interest during physical activity. The instrument uses semantic differential responses (e.g., 'boring–interesting', 'dull–fun', 'unpleasant–pleasant') to capture the hedonic experience of exercise. PACES is widely used in exercise science, health promotion, and physical education research to identify activities that are most enjoyable for specific populations and to evaluate whether interventions enhance exercise enjoyment.	The Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale measures an individual's confidence in their ability to exercise regularly and maintain physical activity despite challenges. Grounded in Albert Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory, self-efficacy is the belief that one has the capability to execute a specific behavior and achieve desired outcomes. For exercise, self-efficacy encompasses confidence in overcoming barriers (time, fatigue, weather), maintaining consistency, and managing setbacks or relapse. Research consistently demonstrates that exercise self-efficacy is one of the strongest predictors of exercise adherence; individuals with high confidence are more likely to initiate exercise, persist through difficulties, and maintain activity over time. The scale is widely used in primary care, cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, weight management, diabetes care, and exercise research to assess readiness for behavior change and to evaluate interventions designed to boost confidence.
