The Impact of Physical (In)Activity on Sleep Quality

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sleep

In brief

The proposed research will examine the role of physical activity (PA) on altering sleep quality (SQ) while systematically examining novel mechanisms that may drive changes in SQ. Specifically, the study will examine how a 2 week reduction in PA alters sleep quality in young, healthy individuals. Additionally, during this reduction in PA, the study will examine changes in inflammation, oxidative stress, and sympathetic activity to identify potential mechanisms for alterations in sleep quality.
