activities such as exercise, sport, leisure activities or hobbies which are
not related to regular activities job
duties, housework and daily commuting , were examined within a week. This study
is a survey with sample population of
384 workers from 15 provinces, including 102 females and 282 males who were classified
in five age categories, assessing their health status, 30.4 percent of them in
fair health, respectively. Data

leisure-time physical activity and self-efficacy. In order to describe the
data, descriptive statistics, chi-square test, Phi correlation and Univariate
and multivariate regression analysis was applied (P lt;0.05). The findings of
the study shows that there is a significant and meaningful association between
age, gender, leisure time physical activity. Also gender was significantly associated
with self-efficacy but age were not significant .The relationship between
self-efficacy and external barriers with leisure time physical activity were
significant but there was not significant relationship between internal
barriers of self-efficacy and leisure time physical activity .The results showed that the
less participating of woman in leisure-time physical activity Despite its
benefits in increasing health awareness, suggest their undesirable lifestyle in
this area. Obviously, continuation of programs Sports, promoting exercise and
practicing it in the workplace can be an effective step towards achieving the
