Adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines and associations with mental well-being: a population-based study with adolescents in Canada

Adherence to the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines was associated with higher levels of well-being, but most grades 6-8 adolescents in our study did not meet the recommendations. Given sex differences in meeting the movement behaviour recommendations, public health strategies need to consider targeted interventions aimed at improving adherence to these guidelines, particularly focusing on reducing recreational screen time and increasing physical activity.
