Physical inactivity and a low aerobic capacity, has significant health consequences. Socio-personal environment can influence on physical activity (PA) of young people. This study aimed to define which variables are related to the PA and the aerobic capacity of young people, based on the influence of parents, friends and teachers. A sample comprised of 2399 young people aged 10 to 16 years, (1175 boys, 49% - and 1224 girls, 51%) with a mean age of 12.7 years. In collaboration with different educational centers, a sports habits practice questionnaire in young people was distributed among them, which included the following variables: friends practicing sports regulary, perception of being encouraged and supported by their families, and teachers to do sport, body mass index (BMI), maximum oxygen volume (VO2max.), performed PA hours, and weekly screen hours. The course-navette test, was administered in order to measure the VO2max. T-tests and Pearson's correlation were used for data analysis. The study shows that young people who have friends who doing sports and who perceive that they are encouraged and supported by their parents to do sports, do more PA weekly hours, obtain healthier BMI and VO2max., and spend less time in front of screens. These results reinforce the need to establish strategies to promote PA, which favour family support and sports practice among friends.
