Non-communicable diseases are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide [6]-[8]. In addition to that, non-communicable
diseases are responsible for the loss of economic output in developing countries, an estimated US$ 84 billion of
economic production will be lost between 2006 and 2015 if no action taken to reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases [9]. In Jordan, the incidence of non-communicable diseases including diabetes, hypertension, and obesity is increasing rapidly which create a major burden for the society and health care system [10] [11]. On the other hand the connection between lifestyle behaviors such as physical activity and non-communicable diseases is well documented [12]. World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that the elimination of major risk factors of non-communicable diseases will prevent at least 80% of all heart diseases, stroke, and type 2 diabetes mellitus [6]. Despite the high prevalence and cost of non-communicable diseases, most of these diseases are preventable by simple and affordable ways. Health-promotion is a major strategy to promote health and
prevent illness [13].
