- Data from 2,241 adolescents were analyzed, focusing on health conditions like flu, stomach illness, head colds, and overall health, with results evaluated using statistical methods.
- While no general correlation was found between average PA levels and health conditions, higher PA was associated with a lower risk of flu, head colds, and stomach illnesses, especially in younger adolescents, girls, and those who are obese.
