Background: Subjective exercise experiences scale (SEES) is a 12-item questionnaire assessing global psychological responses to exercise, with three constructs including positive well-Being (PWB), psychological distress (PD), and fatigue (FAT). The present study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the SEES questionnaire in the Iranian population.

Method: This cross-sectional psychometric study was conducted on 138 adults immediately after 30 min of walking. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was evaluated with Cronbach's alpha coefficient. To assess the test-retest reliability, 38 of the participants were requested to fill in the questionnaire again after a week. The test-retest reliability was analyzed using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). The concurrent validity was examined through the correlation matrix between the domains of SEES and SF12. Principle component analysis was performed to determine the factor loading of the measured variables. IBM SPSS statistics 24 was used for all calculations.

Results: Cronbach's alpha was 0.82, 0.82, and 0.81 for the PWB, PD, and FAT, respectively. The ICC value was acceptable for all subscales (ICC for PWB, PD, and FAT were 0.83, 0.88, and 0.74 respectively). There was a weak to moderate correlation between the SEES and SF-12 subclasses. Factor analysis confirmed the three-factor structure of the instrument, explaining 67.21% of the observed variance. Item 3 didn't fit in well with the three constructs and was deleted from the Persian version of the SEES.

Conclusions: The Persian version of the SEES is a valid and reliable instrument to evaluate the psychological response to the exercise stimulus.

A recently introduced metric for assessing metabolic syndrome (MetS) is the triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI). Additionally, the glycemic index (GI) is recognized as a significant measure for evaluating conditions associated with blood glucose. In this context, our research explores the correlation between TyG-BMI and GI in relation to diet quality, anthropometric measurements, and blood pressure among individuals diagnosed with MetS.

Unlabelled: Blue carbon represents the organic carbon retained in marine coastal ecosystems. (an Arabic for "mudflats"), formed in tidal environments under arid conditions, have been proposed to be capable of carbon sequestrating. Despite the growing understanding of the critical role of blue carbon ecosystems, there is a current dispute about whether sabkhas around the Persian Gulf can contribute to carbon retention as a blue carbon ecosystem.
