The aim of the present study was to analyze the association between physical activity (PA) and bullying and cyberbullying. A total of 1152 Spanish students (50.9% girls) between 10 and 16 years of age (13.24 ± 1.78) participated. The association between variables was performed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). This analysis was performed separately for boys and girls and adjusted for age, body mass index, mother's education and repetition of academic year. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in bullying victimization in adolescents with respect to their level of weekly PA practice (p>.05). However, physically active boys (at least one hour of MVPA ≥ five days/week) had a higher level of bullying aggression compared to inactive ones (p=.012; d=0.218). Regarding cyberbullying, victimization and aggression scores as a function of weekly PA level appeared to be unaffected in girls (all p > .05), however, physically active students had both lower levels of victimization (p=.017; d=0.217) and aggression (p=.060; d=0.468). The results suggest the need to design multifaceted educational interventions that promote both PA practice, as protection from cyberbullying victimization, and psychological intervention aimed at the re-education of the aggression effects associated with its practice.
