The present study investigated whether levels of physical activity in young adults have an influence over levels of substance consumption, and whether the previous variables are further influenced by sex. Subjects (N = 153) completed a Google Forms including questions pertaining sex, nationality, studies, and questions from two validated questionnaires to evaluate levels of the variables of interest (CRAAFT and IPAQ). A weak negative statistical correlation was found as in higher levels of PA reducing further levels of consumption, but no statistically significant differences were found with respect to sex. Given the limitations of both questionnaires at detecting lower and moderate levels of the variables studied, as well as the lack of additional variables that could be influencing consumption levels, the low number of subjects studied, and the high dispersion found within them, further studies are to be fulfilled taking into consideration the aforementioned as a means to find ways to prevent drug and substance use within society.
