    Este estudio corresponde a la primera fase de investigacion formativa recomendada en la teoria de la Accion Planeada para desarrollar una intervencion. Nuestros objetivos son identificar las creencias modales sobre la realizacion de una pauta de ejercicio en personas con fibromialgia, probar los items para la evaluacion directa de los constructos predictivos y explorar sus relaciones con la conducta. Evaluamos a 46 mujeres con fi-bromialgia. El analisis de contenido mostro un mayor numero de conse-cuencias positivas que negativas asociadas a la ejecucion de la pauta de ejer-cicio (creencias comportamentales); la familia y los amigos son los referen-tes importantes (creencias normativas) y se detectaron factores facilitadores e inhibidores de la ejecucion de la conducta de ejercicio, relacionados con aspectos de la fibromialgia (creencias de control) como el dolor, la fatiga y el estado de animo. El indice de consistencia interna mas bajo fue el de la escala de norma subjetiva (�¿= .78). Los resultados confirman el sedenta-rismo de la muestra (conducta previa: Media=3.67; rango=1-7) aunque tambien sugieren que estas personas tienen intencion de realizar la conduc-ta (Media= 5.67). Las relaciones obtenidas entre los constructos son las es-peradas desde la teoria, apoyando la pertinencia de aplicarla en la conducta y poblacion seleccionada

    This study is the first phase of the formative research recom-mended in the Theory of Planned Behavior for the development of an in-tervention. Our aims are to identify modal beliefs about the performance of an exercise pattern in people with fibromyalgia, to test the items de-signed for direct evaluation of the predictive constructs and to explore their relationships with the behavior. We assessed 46 women with fibrom-yalgia. Content analysis showed more positive than negative consequences related to the performance of exercise guidelines (behavioral beliefs). Fami-lies and friends are the important referents (normative beliefs) and we identified facilitating and inhibiting factors in the performance of exercise behavior related to aspects of fibromyalgia (control beliefs) such as pain, fatigue and emotional state. The subjective norm scale showed the lowest internal consistency (á= .78). The results confirmed the sedentary lifestyle of the participants (previous behavior: Mean=3.67; rank=1-7) although they also suggested that participants intended to perform the behavior (Mean=5.67). The relationships between constructs are coherent with the theory, and support the relevance of applying it to the selected behavior and population
