چکیده

The aim of this research was to determine the intermediate role of religious orientation between physical activity level and physical self-concept. The population of this research, which had a descriptive correlational method, included all 15-18 years old boy students in the city of Ardakan. From this population, 102 people were selected by cluster sampling method. Results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between physical activity level and physical self-concept.  According to the structural equation modelling, it had been showed that religious orientation does not play a mediating role between the level of physical activity and physical self-concept. With regard to the relationship between physical activity and physical self-concept, determination of the role of religious orientation with variables such as age and gender is necessary.
