Unlocking Academic Success: Exploring Associations Between 24-Hour Movement Compositions and Academic Performance in College Students

• Higher academic achievement in college can facilitate more job opportunities (French et al., 2015) and plays a significant role in the hiring process (Rynes et al., 1997) • 24h movement behaviors (i.e., sleep, physical activity, sedentary behavior) have each been independently linked with academic performance (Felez-Nobrega et al., 2018; Okano et al., 2019; Taylor et al., 2013; Wald et al., 2014) • Mixed results with physical activity and sedentary behavior • Sleep is positively associated with academic performance • Only one study has examined 24h movement behaviors as a collective with academic performance (Pellerine et al., 2023) • No studies to date have employed compositional data analysis techniques which limits bias in estimates by considering the codependence of the behaviors across a whole day (Dumuid et al., 2018)

Purpose: Examine how the composition of time spent engaging in 24h movement behaviors relates to academic performance among college students
