“…The remaining studies came from Brazil ( n = 2; 5.3%) and Colombia ( n = 1; 2.6%). All studies included Hispanic/Latino youth as a part of their samples, though nearly half ( n = 16; 42.1%) had mixed samples [ 24 , 25 , 34 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ]. The number of participants varied by study from 80 to 187,860 participants, ranging in age from 5.37 years to 17 years.…”

“…This is supported by evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses agreeing that physical activity can potentially have positive effects on academic performance via greater cognitive capabilities [ 22 , 23 ]. However, some of the evidence suggests that the correlations between physical activity and academic outcomes are weak [ 24 , 25 ].…”

This scoping review provides an overview of the relationship between physical activity, physical fitness, cognition, and academic outcomes in Latino school-aged children and identifies areas for future research. A primary search was conducted in PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and ERIC for original-research articles meeting the inclusion criteria; the search results were uploaded into PICO Portal and assessed by two independent reviewers. Of the 488 initial search results, 50 articles were eligible for full-text review, and 38 were included in this review. Most studies were cross-sectional, conducted in the United States or Chile, and included children 5–18 years old. Overall, the majority of articles reported positive associations between physical activity or physical fitness and cognitive outcomes (n = 11/12; 91.7%), and physical activity or physical fitness and academic outcomes (n = 22/28; 78.6%). In sum, this review provided consistent evidence for higher amounts of physical activity and greater physical fitness to be associated with various positive cognitive and academic outcomes in a school-aged Latino population. This scoping review also elucidated a substantial gap in the research regarding study design, with a discernible lack of interventional efforts. Future studies should test physical activity interventional strategies to optimize cognitive and academic outcomes in school-aged Latino populations.

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to assess the time spent on educational, social, and physical activities among a small population of HCUs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Several studies on physical exercise and its implications on academic performance have been undertaken [19,20,22,24].…”

“…Although university students' time is precious, achieving good grades is only possible by studying in the classroom and in their free time. Furthermore, it is common for university undergraduates to spend more than 3 h on academic work per night, and this behavior is associated with good academic outcomes as well as greater academic stress and less sleep [21][22][23][24][25]. In addition, the amount of time spent on education and other activities varies among studies, and it is influenced by a variety of factors such as the study method, types of respondents, and demographic characteristics such as culture, age, and gender.…”

“…To achieve the study objectives, a 16-item self-prepared and pretested e-questionnaire was designed in the English language using previous literature published in this regard [18][19][20][21][22]. In addition, this e-questionnaire was a new development, being first used among HCUs to assess their social, physical, and educational activities in Saudi Arabia.…”

Background:The time spent on diverse social, physical, and educational activities among healthcare undergraduates (HCUs) tremendously impacts their academic and personal lives. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the social, physical, and educational activities among HCUs at King Saud University (KSU) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (SA). Material/Methods:A cross-sectional, self-prepared, and pre-tested e-questionnaire (electronic questionnaire) based study using a convenience sampling design in a university in SA from August 21 to November 21, 2023 was conducted to assess their various activities outside of classes, using a 16-item e-questionnaire to investigate time spent on social (4 items), physical (3 items), and educational activities (3 items). Results:A total of 452 HCUs completed the e-questionnaires, giving a response rate of 92.62%. Of them, 50.45% were females, the median age was 23 years, and 32.08% (n=145) were medical undergraduates. About 57% of the HCUs spent 1-2 h per day on educational activities during the day, while 32.7% of the HCUs spent 2 h per day on social media, and 62.6% spent 3-4 h per day with family. The findings revealed that the 140 females spent significantly more time (1-2 h) reading and writing compared to the 117 male HCUs (P=0.001). Age was found to be associated with time spent on education by HCUs (P=0.001). Conclusions:Our findings among HCUs show that most spend a significant amount of time on educational activities during the day. Undergraduates also spend time with their families and participate in other social activities.
