Participants: Two samples of full-time undergraduates in Fall 2018.
Methods: Study 1 ( = 21): baseline average daily ST was measured via activPAL4 inclinometers and the NIGHTLY-WEEK-U questionnaire for 7 days.
To systematically review and synthesize all relevant literature to assess the range of average daily sedentary time (ST) of undergraduate students enrolled in university and college programs across the world. Published, peer-reviewed articles were included if they: (a) were in English; (b) had a study population that consisted entirely of undergraduate students; (c) reported a daily or weekly ST for undergraduate students; and (d) included a measure of ST using a valid sedentary behavior questionnaire or accelerometers. Twenty-three studies were included in the review.
