Abstract: 
The elaboration of typologies is a previous step to improve the analysis of occupation
of leisure-time and the establishment of collective measures that they affect in the
development of healthy lifestyle among the young people. The sample of this study
been has constituted by 1829 adolescents of three provinces. We use the Health
Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) questionnaire and the cluster analysis.
These instruments have shown the existence of two different groups in regard to the
leisure-time. These groups are related with sociodemographic variables like educational
level and place of residence. Group of adolescents which accomplish physical activities
organized did not show differences with the other groups of young people in relation to
the consumption of television, time of study and use of computer. On the contrary,
accomplish more physical activity in a workday than the other adolescents.
