The researchers embarked on a descriptive survey design and employed the questionnaire method during the data collection process. The sample consisted of 150 students (Female=78, male= 72). The sample completed the Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS) and Scale of measuring adolescents' leisure time physical activity behavior (Reis et al., 2009). The data were assessed for normal distribution by using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Then, the Pearson correlation test, independent t-test were used.Finding revealed that there were a negative significant relation between social physique anxiety and leisure time physical activity behavior (r =0/63, sig=0/001), and also there were significant difference between men’s and women’s leisure time physical activity behavior (sig =0/01, t=2/53). Moreover, there were a significant difference between men’s and women’s social physique anxiety (sig=0/001, t=2/84).in sum up, these results suggest that people with higher social physique anxiety have less participation in leisure time physical activity.
