Associação entre parâmetros do sono e atividade física em corredores durante a pandemia de COVID-19 / Association between sleep parameters and physical activity in runners during the COVID-19 pandemic

RESUMO

Determinar associação entre qualidade do sono (QS), sonolência diurna excessiva (SDE) e a atividade física (AF) em corredores de rua durante a pandemia deCOVID-19. Em86 voluntários, as seguintes variáveis foram avaliadas QS (pelo Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh, ESE (pelaEscala de Sonolência de Epworth) e a AF (pelo aplicativo Google Fit®).Utilizou-se o teste de correlação de Pearson ou teste de correlação de Spearman. A análise de regressão linear simples foi realizada entre as variáveis que apresentaram correlação. Consideraram-se significantes os valores de p<0,05. Houve correlação entre a SDE e a contagem de passos, bem como entre a SDE e a AF. Verificou-se associação entre a SDE e a AF, mas não entre a QS e a AF.

ABSTRACT

To determine the association between sleep quality (SQ), excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and physical activity (PA) in amateur street runners during the COVID-19pandemic. Eighty-six volunteers were evaluated, and the analyzed variables were SQ (By Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), EDS (By Epworth Sleepiness Scale), and PA (By the Google Fit® app). The data was collected remotely, via email, using Google Forms. Pearson correlation test or Spearman correlation test was used for data correlation. Simple linear regression analysis was performed between variables that showed correlation. P values < 0.05 were considered significant. There was a correlation between EDS and step count [r (p) = 0.219 (0.042)], and only an association between PA and EDS was observed. Based on the results, an association was found between EDS and PA. However, no association was found between SQ and PA.
