Movement and non-movement behaviors include sleep, sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA).

Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used to examine time spent in SB, moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), number of self-reported sedentary extracurricular activities, and their relation to the dependent variables of BMI and WC. In correlation analyses, SB (p
