dc.description.abstractBackground: Existing sedentary behaviour guidelines for children and youth target overall sedentary behaviour and recreational screen time, without any specifc recommendations regarding school-related sedentary behaviours (i.e., sedentary behaviours performed during the school day, or within the infuence of school). The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of international evidence-based recommendations for school-related sedentary behaviours for children and youth, led by the Sedentary Behaviour Research Network (SBRN). Methods: A panel of international experts was convened by SBRN in November 2020 to guide the development of these recommendations for children and youth aged ~5–18 years. The recommendations were informed by 1) agerelevant existing sedentary behaviour guidelines, 2) published research on the relationship between overall sedentary behaviour and health, 3) a de novo systematic review on the relationship between school-related sedentary behav‑ iours and health and/or academic outcomes, and 4) a de novo environmental scan of the grey literature to identify existing recommendations for school-related sedentary behaviours. Draft recommendations were presented to the Expert Panel in June 2021. Following thorough discussion and modif‑ cations, updated recommendations were distributed for stakeholder feedback from July 9–26. Feedback was received from 148 stakeholders across 23 countries, leading to additional updates to the recommendations. Following further rounds of discussion and updates with the Expert Panel in August and September 2021, consensus was achieved on the fnal recommendations. Results: A healthy day includes breaking up extended periods of sedentary behaviour and incorporating diferent types of movement into homework whenever possible, while limiting sedentary homework. School-related screen time should be meaningful, mentally or physically active, and serve a specifc pedagogical purpose that enhances learning. Replacing sedentary learning activities with movement-based learning activities, and replacing screen-based learning activities with non-screen-based learning activities, can further support students’ health and wellbeing. Discussion: This paper presents the frst evidence-based recommendations for school-related sedentary behaviours for children and youth. These recommendations will support the work of parents, caregivers, educators, school system administrators, policy makers, researchers and healthcare providers interested in promoting student health and aca‑ demic success.en_US
