Family support for Physical Activity (PA) during adolescence is essential, but understandings of how this tracks into young adulthood is limited, which this study addressed. Methods: A volunteer sample of college students reported current PA levels and family PA (FPA).Results: Among participants (n=113), no differences were noted for current PA by FPA, nor was there a significant relationship between FPA and activity level. Discussion: Future research should identify underlying factors associated with PA engagement among college students.
