Association Between Moderate-Vigorous Recreational Physical Activity and Sleep Duration in Adolescents: Based on NHANES

E-poster

Abstract Overview

Background: Sleep is crucial for people’s whole life cycle health. Sleep is affected by many factors, and physical activity is one of the important factors. Recreational physical activity (RPA) is a type of physical activity that refers to physical activity during leisure time, including sports, fitness, and other recreational activities. Moderate-vigorous recreational physical activity (MVRPA) plays an important role in adolescent physical and mental health.
Objective: Investigate the association between MVRPA and sleep duration in adolescents aged 16-17 years.
Methods: This study included five cycles of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 through 2016 and included 532 participants, and the weighted participants were 14,289,45. RPA was collected by a physical activity questionnaire. Sleep duration was collected from responses to sleep duration questions. Participants were classified into three groups: short sleep (< 7 hours/day), adequate sleep (7-9 hours/day), and excessive sleep (> 9 hours/day). Chi-square analysis and the Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to analyze the correlation between MVRRA and sleep duration.
Results: The proportion of participants with short sleep, adequate sleep, and excessive sleep was 16.73%, 76.69%, and 6%, respectively. Different MVRRA time (H = 0.07, P = 0.967), age ((c²= 1.097, P = 0.578), education level ((c² = 1.289, P = 0.525) and the sleep time is not statistically significant; Gender ((c²=11.064,P=0.04) and sleep duration were statistically significant .
Conclusion: There was no significant association between MVRPA time and sleep duration, which might be explained by: The age span of the subjects was small and the representativeness was insufficient; Sleep duration is influenced by multiple factors.
Practical implications: In the future, intervention studies on physical activity and sleep can be considered in children and adolescents at different levels. Multivariate analysis was also performed to include obesity, diet, and other factors in the study.
