Muscle-strengthening exercise and sleep quality among a nationally representative sample of 23,635 German adults.

ABSTRACT: Regular physical activity is a key modifiable non-pharmacological treatment to enhance sleep quality, a key predictor of optimal health and wellbeing. Most of the evidence on physical activity and sleep quality is based on studies assessing the effects of aerobic moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (e.g. brisk walking, cycling, jogging). Emerging clinical evidence suggests that muscle-strengthening exercise (e.g. push-ups, using weight machines) may also be beneficial for sleep quality. However, since no studies have examined the associations between muscle-strengthening exercise with sleep quality among a large sample of community-dwelling adults, it is currently unknown how these findings translate to the population level. This study describes the associations between the weekly frequ
