Abstract Emerging adulthood (EA) is a critical stage of life to develop and sustain a healthy lifestyle, which is also a time of vulnerability to
poor physical and mental health outcomes. In this study, we conducted a path analysis (N = 1326) to examine associations among
four dimensions of EA, levels of regular physical activity (PA), self-control, MPA tendency and irrational procrastination. Results

procrastination (β = −0.01, 95% CI: −0.17 to −0.008, p < 0.01) indirectly via self-control;… More >
