Introduction: Knowing the amount and type of physical activity is essential for adults. One of the methods of collecting data about this, is “time diary" that in recent years has been considered. The aim of this study was to determine physical activities in female lectures of university, development, validation and use of ‘Time Diary of Adult Physical Activity. Methods and Materials: The design of this study was descriptive. 50 female lectures of university as sample participated. For data collection, pervious instruments were assessed, mixed and then ‘Time Diary for Adult’s Physical Activity’ was developed. In case of validation (content and face validity), the developed instrument was distributed to 6 experts and content and face validity was approved. For collecting data, ‘Time Diary of Adult Physical Activity’, distributed to women lectures of university and requested to record physical activity of a usual day. Later, data were analyzed. Findings: Results in this study showed that in a usual day, 63% of samples with mean of 13 hours and 20 minute had light physical activity (sitting, working with computer and ..), 33% of them with 8 hours and 50 minute had moderate physical activity (work with students, cleaning home and …) and 4% of them with mean 2 hours and 10 minute had heavy physical activity (sporting, fast waking and...). Conclusion: Lack of appropriate and enough of physical activity and gain weight can create healthy problems and considering this issue is so important. Use of ‘Time Diary of Adult Physical Activity as a valid instrument is suggested.
