The aim of this research is to investigate 24-hour movement guidelines between pandemic vs. post-pandemic. The method used in this research is cross sectional with an observational approach. The total subjects in this study were 620 elementary school students with an average age of 10.87  0.51 years, weight 37.12  8.37 kg, and height 140.11  4.73 cm. The results of the research show that after the pandemic, children's outdoor play habits and sleep duration increased sharply as time in front of the screen decreased, although they tended to be the same as conditions during the pandemic.
