This cross-sectional study aims to identify health behaviors among adolescents engaged in team sport in Taza, Morocco. The whole sample includes 512 adolescents aged between 13 and 20 years old (Girls = 45.5% and Boys = 54.5%). Participation in team sport was estimated to 61.1%. Results revealed that engagement in team sport is not associated with healthy behaviors of adolescents. Hence, more adolescents in team sport adopt violent behaviors. Otherwise, le level of education about healthy behaviors was suitable in team sport participants than the non-participants.
