Physical activity and risk behaviors among adolescents: the mediating roles of diet, sleep, mental health, and substance use
The beneficial effects of PA on reducing SR and SUR among adolescents primarily operate indirectly through enhanced MH and SD, with minor contributions from dietary habits. These findings underscore the importance of integrated intervention strategies targeting MH and sleep quality to maximize the protective benefits of PA for adolescents.
