Background: There is an escalating burden of Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in India. World Health Organisation (WHO) and the government of India aim to reduce the physical inactivity relatively by 10%, as it is a modifiable risk factor for NCDs. Patients and the general population are generally advised to do the physical activity by doctors and other health personnel through individual counselling and group health talks in the community. But whether they can follow the given advice or the knowledge provided alone was sufficient to translate it into practice was not studied. This study was done to explore the facilitators and barriers to physical activity in an urban resettlement colony in New Delhi (India).
