This study used a quasy experimental control group pre-post test design which was conducted on three groups of adolescents, namely the lecture, website and control group for two months on school days using ASAQ (Adolescents Sedentary Activity Questionnaire) and analyzed using ANOVA.

Nutrition education can increase adolescent knowledge but it does not have a significant effect on adolescent physical activity on school days. Some of the activities while adolescents were quite high, especially the learning activities of the lecture group (471.7 ± 53.5) and the website (471.7 ± 53.5) and sleep activity which increased significantly in the lecture group (p=0.040), website (p=0.003) and control (0.015). However, the screentime activity decreased significantly (p=0.011) in the lecture group which could be caused by various factors. Further research needs to be done regarding the factors that affect the duration of teenage screentime on school days.
