The significant associations with poor self-reported academic grades, inadequate sleep, sedentary behaviors, and cigarette smoking suggest research should examine why soda consumption is associated with these behaviors to inform the design of future nutrition interventions.
Physically active academic lessons are an effective intervention to reduce sedentary time and increase student physical activity.
Physical activity was reported in terms of mild, moderate and strenuous physical activity while the sedentary behaviors included items like duration of watching TV and videos, doing academic work, and using a computer.
Yet challenging this vision is burgeoning research regarding the health risks of sedentary behavior, an under-studied college health concern that implies deleterious health outcomes and, by extension, academic impediments as well.
