Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify current Japanese version of exercise self-efficacy instruments for measuring the exercise self-efficacy of Japanese immigrants in South Korea and evaluate their measurement properties. Methods: This study used a literature review on the measurement properties of exercise self-efficacy instruments. The PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL databases were searched from their inception to 19th July 2021 for related articles. Results: Two instruments were identified via the database search. Both were developed based using Bandura’s self-efficacy as the theoretical background. Overall, both instruments appeared to present adequate evidence for internal consistency and structural validity. Hypotheses testing for construct validity was verified for only one instrument. However, the test-retest lacked evidence for adequacy concerning the time interval. More importantly, content validity was not evaluated during the development of either instruments. Conclusion: We could not identify an instrument with sufficient validity and reliability to measure the exercise self-efficacy of Japanese immigrants in South Korea. In the future, the content validity of the two identified instruments must be evaluated by an expert panel and for and by the target popul...
