Abstract
Approximately 36% of university students did not meet the recommendations for physical activity, and over 60% engaged in too much sedentary behaviors. Self-efficacy for physical activity, self-regulation for sitting less and moving more, and family and peer support for physical activity are significant predictors of physical activity among university students.
