But, unfortunately, because of the complications of medical treatments, women saved from breast cancer experience a considerable level of disability. One of the complications of such treatments is the avoidance of physical activity. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to conduct a training intervention based on the constructs of self-efficacy and outcome expectations in order to enhance the physical activity of women suffering from breast cancer.<br /> Methods and Materials: The present research was a clinical pretest-post test trial with a randomized control group conducted on 70 women with a final diagnosis of breast cancer. The time interval during which the study was done was between March and August 2014. The data collection instruments included: 1. Underlying factors questionnaire, 2. Self-efficacy in physical activity and outcome expectations measurement, and 3. International physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). The former questionnaire was completed before and one month after the educational intervention, as the latter filled out before and three months after it. After collection, the data were entered into SPSS 20. To analyze the data, statistical tests such as the independent t-test, paired t-test, chi squared, and analysis of co-variance were used.<br /> Findings: The average age of the studied individuals was 44.57 (SD=6.5), and the two groups showed no significant difference in terms of underlying factors. A significant increase in the self-efficacy and outcome expectations in the experimental group was observed one month after the training intervention, and the amount of physical activity showed a significant increase three months after the intervention (p0.05, t=-0.22).<br /> Conclusion: It seems that health education programs based on the needs analysis of the patients can positively affect their behavioral motivation and performance in physical activities. Given the studied sample size, it is necessary to generalize the results to other interventional groups with caution.<br />
