It is important to know the level of physical activity of each population group and the factors that determine it. In this way, it is possible to identify groups in which physical activity interventions should be prioritised and made them more effective. The aims of the study were: 1) describe the levels of moderate-vigorous physical activity and social support of rural adolescents according to the location of the municipality; 2) analyse the relationships between moderate-vigorous physical activity and perceived social support; 3) identify the social support variables that predict moderate-vigorous physical activity levels of rural adolescents. Students from rural communities in Soria (mean age 14.13±1.29 years) participated. Four one-day physical activity questionnaires, parent support scale and peer support scale were administered. Young people from nearby rural areas performed 62.80±43.27 minutes/day of moderate-vigorous physical activity and those from remote areas 63.86±45.43 minutes/day. Furthermore, most of the relationships between physical activity and social support are significant, regardless of the type of rural community. It can be concluded that the support of family and friends has a significant impact on young people's levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Similarly, being physically active with friends predicts 12.7% of the physical activity of adolescents in nearby areas and 29.7% of those in remote areas.
