Correlation between Physical Activity and Sleep Quality among Elderly in Padjaran, Peterongan
2018
Sleep quality is a sleeping experience of person and got freshness after awakened. Sleep quality among elderly were influenced by several factors such as physical activity. Physical activityy with high frequence will influence nerves sympathetic so it will make somebody feels not asleep, otherwise the appropriate activities can influence the parasympathetic nerves so it will make the body become relaxed than make asleep. The aims of this research was to know the relationship of physical activity with the sleep quality among elderly. Cross sectional study used for research method, 62 elderly in Pajaran village were to being respondent in this research. Sleep quality was measured by using a Pitsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. Moreover, the level of physical activity was measured by The General Practice Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPPAQ questionnaire. The results of this research found the level of physical activity was at moderate level (23%) and the respondent go...
Physical Activity, Sleep Quality and Physical Fitness of the Elderly Who Lived in Nursing Home
2018
The aging process can cause a reduction in physiological function. Being older means a 30-50% decrease in physical fitness for the elderly. Factors related to elderly fitness are associated with the Giant Geriatric Syndrome including physical activity and sleep quality. This research is intended to explain the relationship of physical activity and sleep quality with the level of physical fitness of the elderly who live in nursing homes. This research used a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population was the elderly with a Barthel score > 60. Sample size was 102 respondents with total sampling. The variables were physical activity, sleep quality and physical fitness. The instrument used was a 24 hours activity recall questionnaire, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index. Physical fitness was measured using a six minutes walking test, five times sit to stand test, chair sit and reach test and body mass index. Data analysis used chi square α ≤ 0,05. The ...
A Cross Sectional Study on Effect of Physical Activity on Improving Sleep Quality Among Young Adults
https://www.ijhsr.org/IJHSR\_Vol.13\_Issue.2\_Feb2023/IJHSR-Abstract09.html, 2023
To investigate the effectiveness of physical activity on improving sleep quality in student population. Methods: Cross sectional study design. A total of 93 College students were taken, 60 subjects met the inclusion criteria and were allocated into two groups based on the 5-item physical activity questionnaire, very high level, high level and acceptable level are categorized in group-A (N= 20, Physically active) and low active level and inactive level are categorized in group-B (N= 40, Physically inactive/Sedentary). Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The questionnaire is valid, reliable and consists of ten main questions comprising of 19 selfrated subjective questions. The answers to the questions generate seven component scores. These components include sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, sleep medication use, and daytime dysfunction. The scores of these questions were dichotomized into the seven main components, with a range of 0 to 3 per each component, and a maximum score of 21 and a minimum of 0 for the whole questionnaire. A global PSQI score of 5 and total sleep time (TST) of 7 hours were used to differentiate between poor and good sleepers. Results: Independent t test was used to differentiate the mean significance difference between continuous variables. Both the groups have shown difference in their global score as well as in component scores. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that physically active subjects showed better sleep quality when compared to physically inactive subjects. Conclusion: The study showed a moderate inverse association between reported physical activity and PSQI, meaning that the more people report being physically active, the better their overall sleep quality. In addition, it was found that a high percentage of people who reported low physical activity also reported poor sleep quality on the PSQI. This may indicate that people with less physical activity are more likely to have overall poor sleep quality. Thus, this study concludes that physical activity has a significant effect in improving sleep quality in healthy individuals.

The aim of this study was to identify the best predictor of sleep quality among physical behavior or capacity related variables namely, physical activity, sedentary time, fitness, and physical function (activities of daily living (ADL)) of independent elders using a representative sample of Portuguese aged 65+ (n = 437). Sleep quality and ADL were evaluated by a questionnaire, sedentary time and physical activity through accelerometry, and physical fitness by means of the Senior Fitness Test. The logistic regression analysis revealed that ADL measured by the Composite Physical Function (CPF) was the only explanatory variable discriminating between poor and good sleep quality. Receiver Operating Characteristic analysis showed that the best trade-off between sensitivity and specificity to discriminate old people with poor and good sleep quality was 20 points in the CPF (sensitivity=57.9%; specificity=60.9%; AUC=0.600, 95%CI: 0.536-0.665, p=0.003). Better physical function seems to be associated with better sleep quality in independent elders.
The relationship between sleep and physical activity in nonagenarians and centenarians
Geriatrics Gerontology and Aging, 2021
OBJECTIVE: Since the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality has been poorly studied in nonagenarians and centenarians, this study sought to relate the sleep quality and physical activity in this age group. METHODS: This is a secondary analysis of the initial assessment of a longitudinal study involving nonagenarians and centenarians in Porto Alegre, Brazil, which included physical activity (yes or no) and sleep quality (altered or normal). The chi-square test, adjusted by logistic regression, was used to investigate the relationship between sleep quality, physical activity, and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. RESULTS: Among the 233 participants, 26% were physically active and 53% reported altered sleep. Higher frequencies of physical activity and normal sleep occurred in men (36%, p = 0.02 and 54%, p = 0.18), in those living with a caregiver (42%, p = 0.09 and 58, p = 0.51), in those with high school or higher education (33%, p = 0.44 and 58%, p = 0....

The main purpose of the study was to explore the associations of sleep duration and sleep quality with physical activity (PA). In this cross-sectional study, participants were 894 elderly individuals (mean age 80 ± 3 years; 56.0% women) living in nursing homes. PA, sleep duration, and sleep quality (based on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)) were self-reported. The associations of sleep duration and sleep quality with PA at the nursing home level were analyzed using generalized estimating equations with clustering. Participants reporting short sleep duration (<6 h; OR = 0.45; 95% CI 0.25-0.80) were less likely to report sufficient PA, yet those reporting long sleep duration (>9 h; OR = 2.61; 95% CI 1.35-5.02) and good sleep quality (<5 points; OR = 1.59; 95% CI 1.19-2.12) were more likely to report sufficient PA. When sleep duration and sleep quality were entered into the same model, the same associations remained. This study shows that elderly individuals who report short sleep duration are less likely to meet PA guidelines, while those who report long sleep duration and good sleep quality are more likely to meet PA guidelines. Strategies aiming to improve sleep duration and sleep quality are warranted.

Introduction: Aging is directly related to sleep problems. Primary insomnia has a negative impact on the lives of elderly adults, altering cognitive and metabolic functions. Physical activity is positively related to improvement in sleep quality. The objective of this systematic review was to analyze the effects of physical activity programs in healthy elderly individuals aged 60 years or older, using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) as a tool. Methods: The search was performed in the PubMed and Scielo databases, July 2021. Only randomized clinical trials that evaluated the role of physical exercise in the sleep quality of elderly patients were selected by two independent reviewers. Results: The result of the PSQI analysis showed that compared with the control condition, the exercise intervention was beneficial for the groups with insomnia (SMD: −0.57; 95% CI: −0.73 to −0.4; p < 0.00001; I2 = 53%) and without insomnia (SMD: −0.61; 95% CI: −0.75 to −0.47; p < 0.00001; ...
