AB The aim of this study was to examine the association between physical self-concept and physical activity,  the intention to be physically active, life satisfaction, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet in adolescents.  A total of 1,808 Spanish adolescents (12-16 years of age) participated in this cross-sectional study. Physical  Self Questionnaire, Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity Screening Measure, Intention to be Physically  Active Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and Mediterranean Diet Quality Index were administered. The  boys with a lower physical self-concept showed higher odd ratios of being inactive, having low intentions of  being physically active, poor life satisfaction and low adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Similarly, most  of the associations were also statistically significant in girls as well. In conclusion, the study reveals that  having a low level of physical self-concept increases the risk of being inactive and of having a low level of  intention to be physically active, life satisfaction and adherence to the Mediterranean diet in adolescents.
