“…These grades were provided, with the consent of both students and parents or guardians, by the educational institutions’ authorities at the end of the school grade, ranging from 0 to 10 points. This variable provides a true measure of their academic achievement, being a valid, representative and the most widely used measure in research addressing students’ academic performance ( Valiente-Barroso and García-García, 2012 ; Haapala et al, 2020 ; Sánchez-Álvarez et al, 2020 ; Yunus et al, 2021 ; Desjardins and Grandbois, 2022 ; García-Gil et al, 2022 ; Tapia-Serrano et al, 2022 ; de Bruijn et al, 2023 ).…”

“…Therefore, it is correlational research since we try to establish if a higher executive symptomatology in adolescents is related to a worse academic achievement in the three subjects evaluated. Nevertheless, numerous studies have used these variables, and they appear to be good predictors of academic performance ( Valiente-Barroso and García-García, 2012 ; Haapala et al, 2020 ; Yunus et al, 2021 ; Desjardins and Grandbois, 2022 ; Tapia-Serrano et al, 2022 ; de Bruijn et al, 2023 ). We hypothesise that adolescents showing signs of greater executive dysfunction will exhibit poorer results in language, mathematics, and natural sciences.…”

BackgroundDuring the educational stage, academic achievement depends on various social, family, and personal factors. Among the latter, executive skills in everyday life play a significant role in dealing with the academic demands of adolescents. Therefore, the aim of this study is to ascertain the effects of executive symptomatology in everyday functioning on academic achievement in adolescents.MethodThe study involved 910 students aged between 13 and 15 years (M = 14.09, SD = 0.68) from both public and private schools in the Community of Madrid. The DEX, BDEFS-CA, and BRIEF-SR questionnaires were utilised to assess executive difficulties, while grades in language, mathematics, and natural sciences were used as a measure of academic achievement.ResultsThe data revealed statistically significant differences in working memory, emotional control, materials organisation, and task completion. In relation to language and natural sciences subjects. In the case of mathematics, emotional control and task completion were significant variables.ConclusionOur results indicate that certain executive skills that are manifested in everyday life activities can contribute, albeit in a variable way, to academic achievement in the subjects studied. This aspect is relevant insofar as it allows us to develop preventive interventions based on the executive training of these everyday skills.

“…Due to heavy academic workload and concerns about high unemployment rates for recent graduates, 43.03% of university students reported not getting a good night's sleep [17,30,32]. Students who perceive poor sleep quality are likely to have poor academic performance and be dissatis ed with their academic performance [7,9]. As a result of poor sleep quality, students may also suffer from higher levels of anxiety, depression, poor attention, and memory loss [13,20].…”

Background: Poor sleep quality is common among university students and can negatively affect their studies, college lives, and physical and mental health. Aerobic exercise has shown promise in mitigating these issues. Exercise interventions involved in previous studies were often time-consuming. To identify a more efficient approach, we evaluated the effects of 15-day rope skipping and badminton interventions on sleep issues. We hypothesized that both badminton and rope skipping would be effective in mitigating sleep problems and that the effect of rope skipping would be greater than that of badminton. Methods: Fifty-five participants’ levels of sleep were assessed via nine variables, using the Consensus Sleep Diary and the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index. Results: Both exercises were effective in improving sleep onset latency. Badminton has a greater effect on improving daytime dysfunction than rope skipping. No additional significant results were found on the other components of sleep. One of the reasons for the nonsignificant results could be that some participants’ sleep was disturbed by roommates sharing the same bedroom. Conclusions: Short-term rope skipping and badminton can effectively shorten the sleep onset latency of university students. Badminton can mitigate more daytime dysfunction than rope skipping. In addition, we found that some participants reported being more interested in exercise after the intervention, suggesting that exercise interventions could be used to foster exercise habits.

“…Among Chinese university students, this can also be attributed to academic workload and employment concerns [31]. Fatigue and sleep issues are often interrelated and are associated with impairments in physical and mental health, cognition, emotions, and well-being [7,13,19,20]. Previous studies have shown that exercise interventions can be bene cial for fatigue and sleep issues [3,8,17].…”

“…Due to heavy academic workload and concerns about high unemployment rates for recent graduates, nearly 40% of university students reported experiencing high academic fatigue, while only 34.8% of university students reported sleeping well [30,31,51]. Students who perceived poor sleep quality were likely to feel dissatis ed with their academic performance [13], while fatigued students often sacri ce physical health for academic success [31]. As a result of poor sleep quality and fatigue, undergraduate students may also suffer from higher levels of anxiety and depression [24,39].…”

Methods Seventy-six participants’ levels of fatigue and sleep were assessed via five variables, using the Consensus Sleep Diary, the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, and the fatigue diary. Results Both exercises were effective only in improving perceived fatigue and sleep onset latency. One of the reasons for the nonsignificant results could be that some participants’ sleep was disturbed by roommates sharing the same bedroom. Conclusions Short-term rope skipping and badminton can effectively improve the fatigue and sleep quality of university students. In addition, we found that some participants reported being more interested in exercise after the intervention, suggesting that exercise interventions could be used to foster exercise habits.
