A replicate crossover trial on the interindividual variability of sleep indices in response to acute exercise undertaken by healthy men.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

Using the necessary replicate-crossover design, we investigated whether there is interindividual variability in home-assessed sleep in response to acute exercise.

Methods

Eighteen healthy men (mean [SD]: 26[6] years) completed two identical control (8 hour laboratory rest, 08:45-16:45) and two identical exercise (7 hour laboratory rest; 1 hour laboratory treadmill run [62(7)% peak oxygen uptake], 15:15-16:15) trials in randomized sequences. Wrist-worn actigraphy (MotionWatch 8) measured home-based sleep (total sleep time, actual wake time, sleep latency, and sleep efficiency) two nights before (nights 1 and 2) and three nights after (nights 3-5) the exercise/control day. Pearson's correlation coefficients quantified the consistency of individual differences
