Background: The aim of this study was to the effect of training intervention on physical activity levels on personnel of University of Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences.
Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 91 employed of University of Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences were sampling method. Data were collected by using measure pedometer to assess objective physical activity. Start using the pedometer, step duration, the average number of employees sitting in two weeks, to determine baseline physical activity staff and employees who have a benchmark to calculate the minimum amount of physical activity in this research were practice. The program includes 10 weeks of training (five phases) practice walking and recording the number of steps counted by the pedometer. Using an intervention program, during each phase of the stair steps were added each week.
Results: Analysis of variance with repeated measures showed that recorded the number of steps in each phase, there are significant differences in the final phase (two late weeks) intervention steps to increase the number of employees was reduced and the time to sit down.
Conclusion: Probably, this study was the first study assessed physical activity in personnel by using pedometer And results showed that use an exercise intervention in the workplace can lead to increased levels of physical activity in staff of workplace.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of Persian version of Sensory Over-Responsivity (SensOR) inventory to use for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).
Materials and methods: The SensOR Inventory was translated into Persian based on the International Quality of Life Assessment (IQOLA) approach. Its face validity was determined by comments of expert occupational therapists and parents of children with ADHD. Test-retest reliability was calculated using Pearson rank correlation and internal consistency, using Cronbach's coefficient α.
Results: This results demonstrated that Cronbach's coefficient α for the overall scale was 0.861 and correlation coefficients calculated between the two times completion of the inventory (test-retest reliability) was high, (P
