Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the association of different parenting styles with the physical activity levels of male adolescents. The subjects were recruited from the various schools of three districts of Punjab viz. Amritsar, Gurdaspur and Hoshiarpur. Sample consisted of 388 male students. The age group of the subjects was 13 to 18 years. Parenting style questionnaire was filled by parents and physical activity questionnaire by students. Relationships between the variables were examined by using Spearman’s correlation.

Meanwhile, permissive parenting style was negatively correlated with physical activity level (p<0.05).
