AB  - Understanding correlates of physical activity (PA) can help inform and improve 
      programs that promote PA among youth. We analyzed data from the 2010 National 
      Youth Physical Activity and Nutrition Study, a representative sample of US 
      students in grades 9-12. Logistic regression was used to examine associations 
      between PA correlates (obesity, physical education classes, sports team 
      participation, attitude toward PA, adult support for PA, and environmental 
      support for PA) and participation in daily PA (DPA), vigorous PA (VPA), 
      muscle-strengthening activity (MSA), viewing television (TV), and using computers 
      or video games (C/VG). A positive attitude toward PA and adult support for PA 
      were both associated with increased PA and decreased sedentary behavior. However, 
      among students who lived in neighborhoods that were not safe for PA, a positive 
      attitude toward PA was not associated with increased DPA or decreased sedentary 
      behavior and was less strongly associated with VPA and MSA. Efforts to increase 
      PA among youth should promote a positive attitude toward PA among youth and 
      encourage adult family members to support their efforts to be active. Policies 
      that promote safe neighborhoods may work synergistically with a positive attitude 
      toward PA to increase participation in PA and decrease sedentary behaviors.
