A Brief Review on Correlates of Physical Activity and Sedentariness in Youth

Better understanding of the correlates of physical activity and sedentary behaviors in youth will support the development of effective interventions that promote a physically active lifestyle and prevent a sedentary lifestyle. The main goal of this systematic review is to summarize and update the existing literature on correlates of young people's physical activity, insufficient physical activity, and sedentary behavior.

A systematic review was conducted and included studies published between January 1999 and January 2005.
