The objective was to examine daily health-related habits and physical activity during free time in a group of young people, with the aim of analysing what types of habits are developed and the associations existing between these habits. A cross-sectional and observational study was carried out. The sample was composed of 1132 young people from Castilla-La Mancha (Spain), 53.4% women and 46.6% men, between 17 and 25 years old (M = 20.63; DT = 2.01). The instrument used in this study was the questionnaire of assessment of health-related habits (QAHH). Different ranges of age and gender were taken into account in the analyses. The results showed low rates of physical activity, with only 25% of the participants practicing physical activity in their free time. Regarding gender, no differences were observed between boys and girls in terms of the level of physical activity practice. The inferential analyses revealed several significant relationships between the habits of leisure time and the practice of physical activity. The analyses also revealed that alcohol consumption, tobacco consumption and Internet were used as means to escape from everyday life. The most frequent free-time activities of the participants during the week were the use of new technologies and the consumption of harmful substances. During the weekends the most frequent ones were physical activity and consumption of harmful substances. While the relationship between physical activity, health-related habits and leisure time in young people is complex, these results indicate that physical activity should be promoted in young people, especially during the week and as a healthy alternative to the consumption of harmful substances. To do this, professionals of different fields (education, psychology, sports sciences, nutrition and medicine, among others) should work together.Sustainability 2019, 11, 6577 2 of 13 has been proven that lack of physical activity leads to obesity and health problems [6,7]. In the same way, other researches have studied the correlation between diet and the practice of physical education as factors that influence health [8,9].Without any doubt, the practice of physical education contributes to the prevention of some diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes type 2, overweight and obesity, cancer of colon and depression and anxiety, among others. Moreover, physical activity contributes to the improvement of the psychological state of people. For this reason, it is of utmost importance to examine behaviours linked to health, with the main aim of explaining the current situation in society. So, the attention must be focused on some stages such as adolescence and youth, as they are essential in the acquisition of future healthy lifestyles [4]. Regarding gender, women practice less physical activity, and this inactivity increases with age [9,10].The activities developed during free time are associated with fun, satisfaction and pleasure. However, these activities do not have to be related neither with physical activity nor w...

“…Estos datos están en consonancia con los datos proporcionados por la Delegación del Gobierno para el Plan Nacional sobre Drogas (2016) que ponen de manifiesto que la práctica de deporte semanalmente es semejante entre los estudiantes que han consumido alcohol frente a los que no habían realizado deporte, no siendo así en el caso de los consumidores de tabaco, marihuana/hachís u otras drogas. Así, en la asociación entre la práctica de la actividad física y el consumo de tabaco se ha encontrado una tendencia a fumar en menor cantidad o incluso no hacerlo por parte de los estudiantes físicamente activos (Ceschini, et al, 2007; Delegación del Gobierno para el Plan Nacional sobre Drogas, 2016;Galán et al, 2014;Gil-Madrona et al, 2019;González et al, 2016;Tercedor et al, 2007).…”

“…Por otro lado, es fundamental que el alumnado reciba una educación física de calidad, es decir, dotarle de pautas para mantenerse activos a lo largo de la vida y sobre todo de forma saludable (WHO, 2018). Resulta JUMP, Nº 1, enero-junio de 2020 DOI: 10.17561/jump.n1.5 fundamental la concienciación en el alumnado durante todas las etapas educativas dirigidas a la prevención del consumo de drogas así como a la promoción de la práctica de la actividad física con el objetivo de aumentar los niveles de actividad y la eficacia de estos (Medeiros et al, 2018;Gil-Madrona et al, 2019). Del mismo modo, no debemos olvidar que la práctica de la actividad física es un excelente medio que permite la transmisión de valores (Portolés & González, 2015) así como la promoción de la relaciones interpersonales y de la prosocialidad (González et al, 2016).…”

“…Concretamente, en España el 10.2% de los adolescentes no había practicado deporte en los últimos 12 meses fuera del horario escolar (Delegación del Gobierno para el Plan Nacional sobre Drogas, 2018). En lo que respecta a la realización de conductas no saludables, como el consumo de drogas, es destacable que la práctica de deporte semanalmente es semejante entre los estudiantes que han consumido alcohol frente a los que no (Delegación del Gobierno para el Plan Nacional sobre Drogas, 2016) aunque dicha asociación es inconsistente debido a que varios autores han encontrado en adolescentes una relación positiva entre el consumo de alcohol y la práctica de la actividad física (Ceschini, Florindo, & Benicio, 2007;Galán et al, 2014;Gil-Madrona et al, 2019). Sin embargo, entre los consumidores de tabaco, marihuana/hachís u otras drogas, como cocaína, la proporción de estudiantes que hace deporte semanalmente es ligeramente inferior frente a los que no han consumido ese tipo de drogas (Ceschini et al, 2007; Delegación del Gobierno para el Plan Nacional sobre Drogas, 2016;Galán et al, 2014;Gil-Madrona et al, 2019;González et al, 2016;Tercedor et al, 2007).…”

Existe una preocupación generalizada por el bajo nivel de actividad física en la población adolescente, lo que puede asociarse al consumo de sustancias nocivas para la salud o la implicación en otras acciones no saludables. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar la asociación entre los hábitos de práctica de actividad física y la implicación en conductas no saludables como el consumo de drogas u otras acciones de riesgo en adolescentes. Los participantes del estudio fueron 1222 estudiantes (51.9% de género femenino), con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y 16 años, de diferentes centros educativos de la Región de Murcia. Para medir la Actividad física y la salud se utilizó el instrumento APAL-Q y para evaluar el consumo de drogas y otras conductas problemáticas en la adolescencia se utilizó una encuesta basada en la elaborada por Delegación del Gobierno para el Plan Nacional sobre Drogas. Los resultados del estudio mostraron que el principal motivo por el cual no practican actividad física los escolares se debe a la falta de tiempo. Cerca del 50% de los estudiantes practicaban deporte según las recomendaciones de la ACSM. Entre el alumnado que practicaba deporte se encontró un menor consumo de tabaco, hachís/marihuana. El consumo de alcohol y de otras drogas no mostró diferencias significativas entre los estudiantes sedentarios y los que practicaban deporte. Del mismo modo, entre los sedentarios se encontró una mayor implicación en peleas y conflictos familiares. El estudio plantea la necesidad de promover y facilitar la práctica de la actividad física en todos los niveles educativos para prevenir el desarrollo de conductas nocivas para la salud.

“…Future research should explore the interaction of other individual factors (eg, psychological capital and physical exercise) and environmental factors (eg, family and school) on the positive development patterns of left-behind adolescents for a more comprehensive understanding. [78][79][80][81] Secondly, sample collection may have been subject to selection bias, limiting the generalizability of our findings to other populations (eg, other grades and regions) of left-behind adolescents. Moreover, the scales used in this study were developed for Chinese populations, necessitating further validation for cross-cultural applicability.…”

Purpose Despite increased attention to the positive development of left-behind adolescents, research findings remain inconclusive. Utilizing latent profile analysis, we identified various positive development profiles among the left-behind adolescents and explored the association between resilience and positive development profiles, alongside the mediating role of making sense of adversity. Methods A multi-stage cluster sampling procedure was employed, randomly selecting four provinces–Zhejiang, Guangdong, Henan, and Jiangxi–from the central and coastal regions. The sample comprised 718 left-behind adolescents recruited from primary and junior high schools across grades 4, 5, 7, and 8. Three scales were utilized, and analyses included latent profile analysis and mediation analysis. Results Three latent subgroups of positive development among left-behind adolescents were identified: low, moderate, and high. Those with higher resilience and positive perceptions of adversity tended to belong to the high group rather than the low (β = −0.45, p < 0.001; β = −0.09, p < 0.001) or moderate group (β = −0.23, p < 0.001; β = −0.04, p < 0.05). Left-behind adolescents with higher negative perceptions of adversity tended to belong to the high group rather than the moderate group (β = −0.07, p < 0.01). Mediation analysis revealed that resilience facilitated the development of positive appraisals of adversity, subsequently increasing the likelihood of being categorized into the high (95% CI of −0.09 to −0.03) or moderate group (95% CI of −0.05 to −0.01) rather than the low group. Conclusion These findings hold significant implications for intervention formulation. Educators should focus on strengthening resilience and fostering positive perceptions of adversity among the low group. For the moderate group, maintaining moderate negative perceptions of adversity may stimulate the intrinsic potential for positive development more effectively.
