The present study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Affordances for Motor Behavior of School-Children (AMBS) questionnaire. This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 247 students aged 7 to 10 years in Yazd city (167 girls and 80 boys). The research instrument was the AMBS questionnaire, which was translated into Persian through the standard IQOLA translation method. The face validity, content validity (CVR and CVI), construct validity (confirmatory factor analysis), and reliability (test-retest and internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha) of the questionnaire were examined. The content validity index of the entire questionnaire was 0.90. Confirmatory factor analysis results confirmed the three-factor structure of the questionnaire (home, equipment, and school) (χ²/df=2.44, RMSEA=0.077, GFI=0.955, CFI=0.927). The test-retest reliability with a two-week interval was 0.72 for the entire questionnaire, and 0.68, 0.79, and 0.66 for the home, materials, and school subscales, respectively. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire questionnaire was calculated as 0.71. Furthermore, no significant difference was observed between the scores of girls and boys in the questionnaire components. The results indicated that the Persian version of the AMBS questionnaire has acceptable validity and reliability in the population of Iranian schoolchildren and can be used as a valid tool for assessing environmental affordances affecting children's motor development in future research and interventional activities.
