L’objectif

We assessed the relationship between ACEs and frequent substance use (SU) and investigated if different modalities of physical activity (PA) moderate this pathway.

Constatations/points à retenir

With exception to binge drinking, cumulative ACEs (3+) were strongly associated with daily cannabis use in Wave III  and Wave IV and daily cigarette smoking in Wave III and Wave IV. No PA modality moderated the ACEs to SU pathway; however, walking for exercise lowered the odds of current and prospective daily cannabis and cigarette use by 20–40%. Strength training, team sports, and individual sport participation were associated with 20–30% reduced risks of future daily cigarette use.
