This study investigates the relationship between the number of sports-bodybuilding activities with body management in women in Tabriz. Body management means manipulating the appearance of the body. The research method was descriptive-survey. The statistical population was 1486 women participating in sports-bodybuilding activities in Tabriz. A sample of 205 people was selected based on Morgan's table. The sampling method was probabilistic cluster sampling. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between the number of sports-bodybuilding activities with the amount of body management and weight control and health components in Tabriz women with Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.47 and 0.52 and significance level of 0.001, respectively. There was no significant difference between the number of sports activities with the number of surgical components, body management cosmetics, marital status and level of education. There was a significant inverse relationship between the age of Tabriz women and body management with Pearson correlation coefficient of -0.16 and significance level of 0.021. The rate of body management was significantly higher among employed women than non-employed women. Sports activities such as bodybuilding are concrete examples of the body's social structure that explicitly allows individuals to improve their behavior by mastering physical skills. Therefore, women can manage their body by using sports activities and achieve the desired result by controlling and the amount of activity
