Multivariable logistic regression showed that being over 14 years old and spending excessive screen\u00a0time on electronic games were positively associated with physical inactivity. Conversely, male sex, sufficient vegetable intake, excessive screen time on social media, and higher mental toughness were inversely associated with physical inactivity. Smoking and alcohol use were also inversely associated with physical inactivity, and were\u00a0reported by 1.6% and 8.4% of participants, respectively.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A high level of physical inactivity was observed among adolescents in this study.
