Abstract
Studies before the pandemic estimated that only 8% of Canadian adolescents met the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for limiting non-school related sedentary behavior (SB) and screen time to 2 hours or fewer per day. Studies have shown that increased SB in youth is related to an increase in adverse mental health outcomes (MHO), but evidence of this effect during the COVID-19 pandemic is limited. With the large-scale adoption of online schooling due to COVID-19 in many regions, youth may be facing increased SB resulting in increased adverse MHO.
