To explore the mediating effect of physical fitness index between activity and executive function in Chinese adolescents, to provide a theoretical basis for improving adolescents' status function. A total 5,336 adolescents aged 13-18 years were sampled from September December 2023 Changzhi, Taizhou, Jishou, Nanchang, Suzhou, Xianyang, Yulin, China, respectively, using stratified whole cluster random sampling. Adolescents' activity, assessed questionnaires combined with tests. Descriptive analysis was used describe characteristics each test Pearson's correlation analyze relationship index, function, mediation model The length participation moderate-to-vigorous 110 (63, 187) min/week high group 93 (53, 168) low group, which statistically different when comparing two groups (Z = -4.286, p 0.001); response time cognitive flexibility (321.11 ± 142.79) milliseconds females (291.12 137.09) males, (t -7.816, 0.001). coefficient 0.039 (p < 0.05); coefficients 1-back time, 2-back dexterity -0.124, -0.180, -0.100, respectively (all p-values There no significant any subfunctions > 0.05). values -0.0007 (95% C1 -0.0021 ~ -0.0003), -0.0013 CI -0.0039 -0.0007), -0.0004 - 0.0010 -0.0002).
