Associations between sleep quality and its domains and insufficient physical activity in a large sample of Croatian young adults: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The main purpose of the present study was to explore the associations between sleep quality and insufficient physical activity.

Design

Cross-sectional.

Setting

Faculties in Croatia.

Participants

2100 university students (1049 men and 1051 women) aged 18-24 years were recruited.
