 Methods 442 adolescents aged 12 to 18 were selected as subjects for the study, and frequency analysis was performed on the general characteristics of the subjects and the characteristics of major social problems of adolescents, and differences between general characteristics and major social problem characteristics of adolescents according to physical activity practice were analyzed using Independent Two Sample-test and One-way ANOVA, and Scheffé 's post-test was conducted. In addition, the relationship between physical activity practice and general characteristics and major social problems among adolescents was analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient.
