Abstract

Objective: The extensive physical and mental health implications of physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep are irrefutable. The COVID-19 pandemic has had drastic consequences on university students and their already poor movement behaviors. The purpose of the current study was to report the prevalence of undergraduate university students in Ontario, Canada, who were meeting the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Adults approximately 2 and a half years into the COVID-19 pandemic.

Participants: A total of 508 undergraduate students registered at 19 universities across Ontario completed the online survey.

Methods: A collection of validated scales and study-specific questions were administered via a single online survey to assess whether students were meeting each component of the Guidelines (i.e., physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep).

Results: Only one participant (0.2%) met all recommendations set out in the Guidelines.

Conclusions: Effective intervention is needed to improve the movement behaviors of university students.
