The main purpose of the study was to compare the physical activity and barrier to being active between working and non-working women of Chandigarh. To achieve the objective of the study, three hundred (N=300) working women and three hundred (N=300) non-working women between 18 to 40 years were selected conveniently and purposely. Physical Activity was measured by using “Physical Activity Index” developed by Mayfield, Personal Nutrition Development, USA (2006). To measure Physical Activity Barrier, “Barriers to Being Active Quiz (BBAQ-21)” constructed by United States Development of Health and Human Service (USDHHS, 1999) was used. To determine the significant difference between the mean scores of working women and non-working women on physical activity and barrier to being active, ‘t’ test was employed with the help of SPSS software. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Results of the study revealed that there were no significant differences obtained between working and non-working women of Chandigarh on the variables of physical activity and barrier to being active.
