Description: ObjectivePhysical activity (PA) tends to decline throughout the college years, and close friends’ influence is known to be an important factor in maintaining PA.

Structural equation modeling with path analysis was conducted to test Actor‐Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) explaining close relationships on PA.ResultsOne‐sided partner effect that friends' perceived friend support was directly related to individual's PA (β = 0.20, p PA for individual and friend. Perceived health status was related to higher level of individuals’ PA.ConclusionsThese results suggest a role for public health nurses in developing interventions for college‐aged young adults that promotes friend support for PA as well as individual self‐efficacy toward PA, to engage young adults in establishing lifelong health‐promoting PA.
