Compositional data analyses were implemented using R.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Depression, anxiety, and stress were negatively associated with time spent in MVPA and sleep (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) and positively associated with time spent in SSB and NSB (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Reallocating 15\u2009min to MVPA from LPA, SSB and NSB predicted improvements in depression (LPA: \u22120.234 unit; SSB: \u22120.375 unit; NSB: \u22120.249 unit), anxiety (LPA: \u22120.092 unit; SSB: \u22120.284 unit; NSB: \u22120.165 unit), and stress (LPA: \u22120.083 unit; SSB: \u22120.312 unit; NSB: \u22120.191 unit). For dose\u2013response relationships of 5\u201355\u2009min isotemporal substitution, when time was reallocated to MVPA from LPA, NSB, and SSB, the estimated detriments to mental health were larger in magnitude than the estimated benefits of time reallocation from MVPA to LPA, NSB, and SSB.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings emphasize the importance of participating in MVPA to improve mental health in overweight\/obese college students during the post-COVID-19 era.
