| dc.abstract.en | This study examined the relationship between physical activity levels and sleep quality among students during the COVID-19 pandemic, identifying patterns through clustering analysis. A longi-tudinal cohort of 1,600 students from Wroclaw Medical University, Poland participated from Oc-tober 2020 to March 2021, with data collected in two stages: Stage I (n = 845) after six months and Stage II (n = 755) after one year. Physical activity levels, measured by theInternational Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-S), were categorized as low, moderate, or high in meta-bolic equivalent of task (MET) minutes per week, while sleep quality was assessed using the Pitts-burgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), classifying participants as “good” or “poor” sleepers. Clustering analysis applied hierarchical agglomerative clustering (HAC) on 2021 data. Walking MET scores increased for both genders from 2020 to 2021, with significant gender differences. Females showed increased total MET, while male scores remained stable. Four clusters emerged: Clusters 1 and 2, with high walking plus vigorous or moderate activity, had shorter sleep durations, sug-gesting higher activity supports better sleep. Cluster 3, with low vigorous and moderate activity, had longer sleep duration, while Cluster 4, with irregular activity, showed the longest sleep dura-tion, indicating inconsistent activity may increase sleep needs. Overall, consistent and varied phys-ical activity may support optimal sleep patterns among students | |
| dc.abstract.pl | Celem badania była analiza związku między poziomem aktywności fizycznej a jakością snu wśród studentów podczas pandemii COVID-19, z identyfikacją wzorców za pomocą analizy skupień. W badaniu uczestniczyło 1600 studentów Uniwersytetu Medycznego we Wrocławiu, a dane zbierano w dwóch etapach: Etap I (n = 845) po sześciu miesiącach oraz Etap II (n = 755) po roku pandemii. Poziomy aktywności fizycznej, mierzone skróconą wersją Międzynarodowego Kwestio-nariusza Aktywności Fizycznej (IPAQ-S), sklasyfikowano jako niskie, umiarkowane lub wysokie w minutach MET na tydzień, a jakość snu oceniono za pomocą Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), klasyfikując uczestników jako „dobrych”lub „złych”śpiących. Wyniki MET dla chodzenia wzrosły z 2020 na 2021 rok, przy czym u kobiet odnotowano wzrost całkowitego MET, a u mężczyzn stabilizację wyników. Hierarchiczne grupowanie aglomeracyjne (HAC) na danych z 2021 roku wyłoniło cztery skupienia. Skupienie 1 i 2, o wysokiej aktywności chodzenia i intensywnej lub umiarkowanej aktywności dodatkowej, miały krótszy czas snu, co sugeruje, że wyższa aktywność wspiera lepszą jakość snu. Skupienie o niskiej aktywności, charakteryzowało się dłuższym snem, a z kolei ostatnie skupienie, z nieregularną aktywnością, miało najdłuższy czas snu, co może wskazywać na wyższe zapotrzebowanie na sen przy nieregularnym ruchu. Podsumowując, regularna i zróżnicowana aktywność fizyczna może wspierać optymalne wzorce snu wśród studentów | |
