The data were collected by library research and the researcher-composed questionnaire. To determine the reliability of the questionnaire, a small part of the population was employed and Cronbach's alpha with a level of 0.05 was conducted to obtain a reliability of 0.86.
The study population included staff and operational managers of Youth and Sports Ministry, experts Federation of Sport and Physical Education experts and informed faculty members. In this study, because the number of individuals with respect to the descriptive nature of the research were limited , the sample consisted of 200 subjects. The data analysis included both descriptive and inferential statistics such as Kolmogorov -Smirnov test, one-sample t-test (to compare the mean of one society) and Kruskal-Wallis test. The results of this study showed that a assigning morning exercise as one of the television and radio programs has an indispensible role in educating and promoting people culture to raise the level of physical activity.
