- Abstract
The objective of the study consists in analysing the effect of physical activity and sport on adolescents' healthy lifestyles. The study was conducted with a representative sample of teenagers between 11 and 15 years of age (N = 967) from the community of Valencia and the instrument used was the Spanish translation (Balaguer, 2000, 2002) of an adaptation of the Inventory of Health Behaviours in School-Age Children (Wold, 1995). The hypothesis was posited that both physical activity as well as sport will be negatively related to the consumption of health-endangering substances (tobacco, alcohol and cannabis) and an unhealthy diet and positively to a healthy diet. The results provide information on the implications that both practices have on the classic health behaviours that make up the adolescent lifestyle.
