ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global panic and public concern due to its mortality ratio and lack of treatments/vaccines. Reduced levels of physical activity have been reported during the outbreak, affecting the normal daily pattern.OBJECTIVE:
To investigate (i) the relationship of physical activity level with sleep quality and (ii) the effects of reduction physical activity levels on sleep quality.METHODS:
A Google form was used to address personal information, COVID-19 personal care, physical activity, and mental health of 1,907 adult volunteers. Binary logistic regression was used to verify the association of physical activity parameters and sleep quality.RESULTS:
Insufficient physical activity levels were a risk factor to have disturbed sleep pattern [OR 1.28, 95% CI (1.01-1.62)]; however, when the BMI was added to the analysis, there was no more statistical difference [OR 1.23, 95% CI (0.96-1.57)]. On the other hand, we found that the reduction of physical activity levels was associated with negative changes in sleep quality [OR 1.73, 95% CI (1.37-2.18)], regardless all the confounders [OR 1.30, 95% CI (1.01-1.68)], unless when feeling of depression was added in Model 6 [OR 1.28, 95% CI (0.99-1.66)].CONCLUSION:
Disruption in daily physical activity routine, rather than physical activity level, negatively influences sleep quality during the COVID-19 quarantine.
