Association of low weekly physical activity and sedentary lifestyle with self-perceived health, pain, and well-being in a Spanish teenage population

Conclusion Low weekly PA leads to reduced self-perceived health in teenagers. It also increases the risk of pain and decreases the well-being of teenage boys. The effects of a highly sedentary lifestyle may differ according to gender and type of sedentary activity (TV, PC, or homework). These differences suggest the need of specific approaches to PA and sedentary lifestyle levels according to gender.
