Multimodal neuroimaging correlates of physical-cognitive covariation in Chilean adolescents. The Cogni-Action Project

“…Our findings are in line with the literature showing an important contribution of multiple healthy-lifestyle behaviours -such as physical activity, physical fitness, sleep hygiene, diet, body composition -in supporting adolescents' cognitive performance and academic achievements 11,31,[58][59][60] . It is indeed well-known that lifestyle behaviours are interdependent, favouring a synergistic beneficial effect on the body 61 .…”

“…Previous studies examining adherence to 24-h movement guidelines 11,59,60 (regarding physical activity, sleep, and sedentary behaviour) have found some association between adherence to these guidelines and both cognitive outcomes (4,524 US children aged 8-11 years) 11 and academic achievement (1,290 Spanish adolescents aged 11-16 years) 59,60 . However, there is heterogeneity in these associations depending on the population studied and which combination of guidelines was considered 59,60 .…”

However, there is heterogeneity in these associations depending on the population studied and which combination of guidelines was considered 59,60 . Therefore, multivariate analyses, integrating more variables reflecting the complexity of human behaviour, might be better suited to identify more robust and plausible modes of variability relating lifestyles and cognition, and hence could provide novel evidence for movement guidelines.…”

Adolescents’ Physical Activity and Depressive Symptoms: A Psychosocial Mechanism

“…We also used the recommended cutoff score (M > 2.75) to identify the proportion of active vs. inactive adolescents in PAQ-A [54]. This questionnaire has shown acceptable reliability and validity in previous research among adolescents [55,56] and indicated sufficient reliability in our sample (Cronbach's α = 0.78).…”

Interactive Associations between Physical Activity and Sleep Duration in Relation to Adolescent Academic Achievement

“…Research examining 24-h movement guideline adherence lends some insight though. For example, a study of 1290 Spanish adolescents observed the most favorable associations with academic achievement among those who met the physical activity and sleep guidelines; other combinations of guideline adherence (e.g., sleep and screen time, screen time and physical activity)–including concurrent adherence to all three 24-h movement guidelines–demonstrated weaker associations [ 28 ]. A key shortcoming of classifying adolescents into groups based on whether or not they adhere to sleep or physical activity guidelines, however, is that these dichotomized groups fail to consider potential dose-response relationships between movement behaviors and academic achievement.…”
