Background: This paper is based on the relationship between family structure and family health. Methods: This paper applies the method of empirical research to explore the impact of social capital investment and health behavior acquisition on the degree of completion of recommended amount of physical activity for children and adolescents under different family structures. Results: This paper finds that the 30-minute MVPA and 60-minute MVPA of children and adolescents in joint families and stem families are larger than those in other families, and the overall 60-minute MVPA participation is obviously insufficient. As for the influence of family structure and social capital on the recommended amount of physical activity for children and adolescents, compared with other families, greater expenditure on sports is related with better family-friend interaction, stronger sense of school belongingness, better campus friendship, better social trust, greater likelihood that the recommended physical activity is completed, and more social support for the physical activity of children and adolescents. Conclusions: Social capital and health behavior served as a way to improve the achievement rate of recommended physical activity for children and adolescents. But the effect of health behavior is not prominent
