ABSTRACT = {This research is designed to investigate the relationship between the 24-h movement guidelines (24-HMG) and
self-reported academic achievement (AA) using nationally representative data derived from the 2019 U.S.
National Youth Risk Behaviour Survey. A multiple-stage cluster sampling procedure has been adopted to ensure
a representative sample (N = 9127 adolescents; mean age = 15.7 years old; male% = 49.8%). Logistic regression
has been adopted to obtain the odds ratio (OR) regarding the associations between adherence to 24-HMG and AA
while controlling for ethnicity, body mass index, sex and age. The prevalence of meeting the 24-h movement
guidelines in isolation and combination varied greatly (physical activity = 23.3%, screen time = 32.5%,
sleep = 22.3%, and 24-HMG = 2.8%), while the percentage of highest-class AA was 42.5%. Compared with the
situation when none of 24-HMG is met, the achievement of any of the combined guidelines (except for meeting
the physical activity guidelines) was significantly associated with higher odds of achieving first-class AA. Meeting
the sleep guideline had 1.42 times increased likelihood to achieve highest-class AA as compared with not meeting
the sleep guideline. Meeting screen time guidelines and physical activity guidelines, respectively, were 1.32 and
1.13 times more likely to report first-class AA; but meeting the guidelines of physical activity was not significantly
related to AA. Meeting the 24-HMG had the highest odds of achieving first-class AA (OR = 2.01, 95%CI: 1.47–
2.73). In both sexes, adolescents who met 24-HMG self-reported better AA (boys OR = 2.05, 95%CI: 1.34–3.15;
girls OR = 2.26, 95%CI: 1.36–3.76). Significant relationships were observed in adolescents from 9–10th grade, but
not higher grades. Our research findings suggest that optimal movement behaviours can be seen as an important
