Abstract :
Adolescence is the most promising and
also most vulnerable span of life. Being
the most energetic and enthusiastic, they
spend their time in academic activities,
sports, household chores and in various
other activities. Free time to do something
apart from scheduled academic work,
business or household activities is
conceptualized as leisure time [1]. Leisure
time management is important as they
cannot compromise with their scheduled
academic activities. Leisure time activities
differ across countries, age groups, sex and
ethnic groups as per different studies but
done mostly in Western countries [2–5].
Furthermore, those adolescents who are in
professional courses might have less
leisure time. Moreover, females might be
more vulnerable because they are prone to
less outdoor activities and outdoor sports
in comparison to males. Thus it is very
important to address these issues,
particularly leisure time activity and time
management, because it serves as a basis
for evidence generation in decisionmaking and policy formulation. An
attempt was made to carry out a crosssectional study in the adolescent female
students pursuing a professional course in
a medical college of New Delhi.
