Abstract Study objectives Studies have demonstrated a daily, bidirectional relationship between sleep and physical activity. However, little is known about how other health behaviors, such as alcohol consumption affect this relationship. This study examined how daily and average alcohol consumption affects the relationships between sleep and physical activity. Methods Participants included 70 men and women, ages 18-50 with sleep duration >6.5 h. Participants wore an actigraph, physical activity monitor and recorded number of alcoholic drinks by daily food logs for 7 days. Results were analyzed using multi-level models to evaluate the 7-day average (i.e., between-person effects) and daily effects (i.e., within-person effects) simultaneously. Results Those with more average (7 day) minutes of vigorous physical activity had less wake after sleep onset (WASO). Furthermore, a higher number of alcoholic drinks was associated with longer sleep duration and higher WASO over 7 days. Days with a higher number of alcoholic drinks were associated with higher WASO and sleep fragmentation that night. Alcohol intake moderated the average (7 day) and daily relationships between sleep and physical activity such that high average (7 days) WASO was associated with shorter average total physical activity duration, but only for those with higher alcohol intake. In addition, longer physical activity duration during the day was associated with lower sleep fragmentation that night, but only for those with lower alcohol intake. Conclusions These data demonstrate that in a naturalistic setting, alcohol intake negatively impacts sleep and diminishes the benefits of physical activity on sleep.

Gamification and social incentives are promising strategies to increase the effectiveness of web-based physical activity (PA) interventions by improving engagement. In this study, we designed a PA intervention integrating gamification and social incentives based on the most popular social networking service in China, WeChat. A controlled trial involving 52 Chinese undergraduate students was implemented to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. Subjects in the intervention group received a 7-week intervention. PA behavior and related social cognitive variables according to the theory of planned behavior were measured at the baseline and after the intervention. Daily physical activity duration was measured during the intervention. The results showed that PA-related subjective norms, perceived behavior control, and intention, as well as self-reported vigorous physical activity and moderate physical activity in the intervention group, were increased after the intervention, compared with the control group (p <0.05). During the intervention, perceived daily physical activity duration in the intervention group was on the rise, while it declined in the control group (p <0.001). The findings indicate that WeChat-based intervention integrating gamification and social incentives could effectively increase subjectively measured PA and related social cognition among Chinese undergraduate students and that it is a promising way to ameliorate the problem of insufficient PA among youths.

This study examined the effect of exercise training on sleep duration and quality and bidirectional day-to-day relationships between physical activity (PA) and sleep. Fourteen inactive men with obesity (49.2±7.9 years, BMI 34.9±2.8 kg/m²) completed a baseline visit, eight-week aerobic exercise intervention, and one-month post-intervention follow-up. PA and sleep were assessed continuously throughout the study duration using wrist-worn accelerometry. Generalised estimating equations (GEE) were used to examine associations between PA and sleep. Sleep duration increased from 5.2h at baseline to 6.6h during the intervention period and 6.5h at one-month post-intervention follow-up (p<0.001). Bi-directional associations showed that higher overall activity volume and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were associated with earlier sleep onset time (p<0.05). Later timing of sleep onset was associated with lower overall volume of activity, most active continuous 30 minutes (M30CONT), and MVPA (p<0.05). Higher overall activity volume, M30CONT, and MVPA predicted more wake after sleep onset (WASO) (p<0.001), whereas greater WASO was associated with higher overall volume of activity, M30CONT, and MVPA (p<0.001). An aerobic exercise intervention increased usual sleep duration. Day-to-day, more PA predicted earlier sleep onset, but worse sleep quality and vice versa. Novelty: • Greater levels of physical activity in the day were associated with an earlier sleep onset time that night, whereas a later timing of sleep onset was associated with lower physical activity the next day in men with obesity • Higher physical activity levels were associated with worse sleep quality, and vice versa

Children and youth are recommended to achieve at least 60 min/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, no more than 2 h/day of recreational screen time, and a sleep duration of 9–11 h/night for 11–13-year-olds or 8–10 h/night for 14–17-year-olds. Meeting the physical activity, screen time, and sleep duration recommendations have previously been associated with substance use among adolescents. However, previous research has mainly examined these factors individually rather than looking at how these indicators could concurrently relate to substance use in this age group. Therefore, this study examined the associations between meeting the 24-h movement guidelines for screen time, sleep duration, and physical activity (independent variables) with substance use outcomes including alcohol consumption, cannabis use, and cigarette smoking (dependent variables) among adolescents. Self-reported data from a cross-sectional and representative sample of 10,236 students (mean age = 15.1 years) in Ontario, Canada were analyzed. Logistic regression models stratified by gender were adjusted for potential confounders. Combinations of 24-h movement guidelines was differentially associated with substance use in boys and girls. Overall, findings showed that meeting 24-h movement guidelines is associated with lower odds of alcohol consumption, cannabis use, and cigarette smoking differentially with type of recommendation met and gender. Given that the associations between 24-h movement guidelines and substance use differ between boys and girls, future efforts should take this into consideration.

Abstract Objective This study examined the association between daily physical activity and functional disability incidence in community-dwelling older adults with chronic pain. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Japanese community. Subjects Of the 5,257 participants enrolled for baseline assessment, data on the 693 participants who had chronic lower back or knee pain and underwent daily physical activity assessment using an accelerometer were analyzed. Methods Participants were assessed for regular physical activity (step counts, moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity duration, and light-intensity physical activity duration) using an accelerometer at baseline and were followed up for monthly functional disability incidence, based on the national long-term care insurance system, for approximately two years. We determined the effect of physical activity cutoff points on functional disability incidence using receiver operating characteristic curves and Youden index. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze associations between the cutoff points and disability incidence. Results Among the 693 participants with chronic pain, 69 (10.0%) developed functional disability during the follow-up period. Participants with lower physical activity levels showed significantly higher risk of disability. After adjusting for all covariates, functional disability was associated with step counts (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.02–3.14) and moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity duration (HR = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.16–3.51) but had no relationship with light-intensity physical activity duration (HR = 1.72, 95% CI = 0.97–3.05). Conclusions Maintenance of physical activity with at least moderate intensity may be effective in preventing disability even among older adults with chronic pain.

Background:Inflammatory markers, adiponectin, and movement/nonmovement behaviors have all been linked to risk factors for cardiovascular disease; however, the association between childhood movement/nonmovement behaviors and inflammatory markers and adiponectin is unknown.Methods:We explored the association between accelerometer determined moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary time, and sleep (7 days/8 nights) and fasting C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and adiponectin in 806 school children. A sleep variability score was calculated.Results:MVPA was negatively associated with adiponectin in boys and girls (P < .001) and with CRP and IL-6 in girls (P < .05) independent of sleep duration, sedentary time, age, fat mass index (FMI), and pubertal status. Sedentary time was positively associated with adiponectin in boys and girls (both P < .001), and sleep duration with adiponectin in boys independent of age, FMI, and pubertal status (P < .001); however, these associations disappeared after mutual adjustments for movement behavior. Sleep duration variability was positively associated with CRP in girls independent of all covariates (P < .01).Conclusion:MVPA remained negatively associated with inflammatory markers and adiponectin, and sleep duration variability positively associated with CRP after adjustment for FMI, pubertal status, and other movement behavior. The inverse association between MVPA and adiponectin conflicts with the anti-inflammatory properties of adiponectin.

Sleep Difficulties

We examined sleep difficulties among adolescents in Germany and the association with physical activity (PA). Furthermore, we analyzed whether the association varied with the socioeconomic status (SES) among adolescent girls and boys in Germany. Using data from the German Health Interview Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS) study (Wave 2), 6599 adolescents aged 11 to 17 years were included in the analyses. We conducted sex-stratified logistic regression analyses. Dependent variables were unrecommended sleep duration (defined as a duration of sleep that does not meet the recommended duration), sleep-onset difficulties, trouble sleeping, and daytime sleepiness. Most adolescent girls and boys reported sleep difficulties. While no associations between PA and sleep difficulties were observed, a significant interaction between PA and SES was found for sleep duration in boys and daytime sleepiness in girls. Thus, adolescents with low SES had fewer sleep difficulties if they met the recommendation for PA, compared with those in other SES groups. In Germany, a large proportion of adolescents have sleep difficulties. We found that the experience of sleep difficulties varied according to PA, sex, and the family SES. Future sleep promotion programs should consider these differences.

Introduction: Skeletal muscle is the largest organ in the human body and vital to maintaining metabolic homeostasis. Increased skeletal muscle fat infiltration (i.e. myosteatosis) is now recognized as a major risk factor for cardio-metabolic diseases, independent of general obesity. Modifications in lifestyle, such as sleep, to reduce myosteatosis would be of great public health importance. However, studies of this relationship often use subjective data and are lacking in minority populations. The aim of this study was to examine the relation between objectively measured sleep duration and myosteatosis at the calf among African Caribbeans. Methods: Data were collected on men (n=393) and women (n=438) from the Tobago Health Study. Sleep duration and physical activity was collected using a SenseWear Pro Armband (BodyMedia, Inc.). Participants were instructed to wear the armband at all times, except in water, for 4-7 days. Measures of muscle density, intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), and area were obtained by peripheral QCT scans of the calf (Stratec XCT-2000). Model covariates included age, sex, BMI, diabetes, alcohol intake, smoking, and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Linear regression was used to assess the relationship of sleep duration on skeletal muscle. Results: Mean sleep duration was 5.5 hours/day (Min 2.2, Max 11.6). Overall, participants were aged 58.7 years, had a BMI of 30.2 kg/m 2 , spent an average of 42 min/day in MVPA, and 18% were diabetic. In fully adjusted models, longer sleep duration was associated with smaller muscle area, but greater muscle density and less IMAT (all P<0.03). There was no interaction of sleep and sex on muscle density, area and IMAT (p-value=0.5184; 0.2730; 0.0954). Conclusions: In African Caribbean men and women, longer sleep duration was associated with less myosteatosis, as well as, less muscle area at the calf. Further research is warranted to understand this relationship longitudinally in order to determine how it may inform lifestyle guidelines in the Caribbean.

Introduction: Racial disparities in healthy lifestyles may begin in youth and increase over the lifespan. Hypothesis: Maintaining healthy lifestyles until 50 years of age will be lower in blacks compared with whites. Methods: The population-based Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study enrolled 5115 blacks and whites aged 18-30 years in 1985-1986. Eight exams were completed over 25 years of follow-up. At each exam, optimal lifestyles were defined as body mass index (BMI) < 25 kg/m 2 , never smoking status, moderate or vigorous physical activity ≥ 150 minutes per week, no or moderate alcohol intake (drinks per week [women / men]: 0-7 / 0-14) and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) adherence score ≥ 15. Optimal cardiovascular health (CVH) was defined as having ≥ 4 optimal lifestyles. The age-specific percentage of blacks and whites maintaining optimal lifestyles was calculated using a modified Kaplan Meier method. Hazard ratios (HR) were calculated for maintaining optimal lifestyles over 25 years in blacks compared with whites. Results: At the baseline exam, 4900 participants (mean age: 26 years; black: 51%) had ≥ 1 optimal lifestyle. By 50 years of age, maintaining BMI < 25 kg/m 2 , never smoking status, moderate or vigorous physical activity ≥ 150 minutes per week, DASH diet adherence and optimal CVH were lower in blacks versus whites while maintaining no or moderate alcohol intake was higher ( Table ). The multivariable adjusted HR (95% confidence interval) comparing blacks to whites for maintaining BMI < 25 kg/m 2 was 0.57 (0.52-0.63), never smoking status was 0.82 (0.66-1.01), moderate or vigorous physical activity ≥ 150 minutes per week was 0.83 (0.76-0.91), no or moderate alcohol intake was 1.19 (1.03-1.37), DASH diet adherence was 0.71 (0.61-0.82) and optimal CVH was 0.63 (0.56-0.72). Conclusion: Blacks were less likely to maintain optimal lifestyles until 50 years of age. Reducing racial differences in the maintenance of optimal CVH may help prevent racial disparities in cardiovascular disease.
