Description: Adolescents who engage in physical activity experience positive mental health outcomes. However, the increasing prevalence of physical inactivity combined with high screen time use is a growing concern among adolescents. This study examines the associations of family physical activity with adolescents’ moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity and recreational screen time recommendation adherence as well as their mental health using a large and nationally-representative sample of Canadian adolescents.
