Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the selected obesity indicators between physically active and inactive perimenopausal women. A sample of 100 (50 physically active and 50 inactive perimenopausal women) from various regions of Bilaspur and Raipur were taken as sample on the basis of stratified purposive random sampling. The age group of the subjects were ranged from 40 - 65 years. The selected various obesity indicators, i.e., Body Mass Index was calculated by dividing the subject’s body weight in kg by height in meters square (BMI=weight in kg/ height in meter square) and Resting Metabolic Rate was assessed using Maltron Body Composition Analyzer. To compare the selected various obesity indicator variables between physically active and inactive women, Independent sample t-test was used. The level of significance was set at 0.05. It was concluded from the findings of the study that significant difference was obtained in Body Mass Index and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) (The selected various obesity indicator variables) between physically active and inactive perimenopausal women (t= 4.018* and 307.220* respectively, p<0.05). It was seen that the Physically active women have more BMI when compared to physically inactive Perimenopausal women. (Inactive Mean = 29.37, Active Mean = 25.35) and Physically inactive women have more RMR when compared to physically active Perimenopausal women. (Inactive Mean = 1841, active Mean = 1534).
