Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the physical activity levels and sleep quality of young people studying at a university during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This descriptive, correlational study was conducted with 670 young adults studying healthcare. Data was collected using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and student information form. Results: 73.1% of the students reported insufficient sleep and 12.7% reported no physical activity. It was determined that 92.5% of the students whose average IPAQ-SF score was 2107.64 ± 54.70 MET-min/week and total PSQI score average was 7.51±2.92, increased their internet use and 94% used smartphones. A moderate negative relationship was found between the overall mean PSQI score and sleep duration, and between habitual sleep efficiency and the overall mean PSQI score. Discussion and Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected students' physical activity and sleep quality, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve this situation. Introducción: Las restricciones, las medidas de aislamiento social, el aumento del estrés y el cambio de rutinas diarias durante la pandemia de COVID-19 han provocado una disminución significativa en los niveles de actividad física y la calidad del sueño de los adultos jóvenes. Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar la relación entre los niveles de actividad física y la calidad del sueño de jóvenes que estudiaron en una universidad durante el período de la pandemia de COVID-19. Método: Este estudio descriptivo y correlativo se llevó a cabo con 670 jóvenes adultos que estudiaban atención médica. Se recopilaron datos utilizando el cuestionario internacional de actividad física (IPAQ-SF) e índice de calidad del sueño de Pittsburgh (PSQI) y el formulario de información de los estudiantes. Resultados: El 73,1% de los estudiantes refirió sueño insuficiente y el 12,7% no realizó actividad física. Se determinó que el 92,5% de los estudiantes, cuyo puntaje promedio en el IPAQ-SF fue 2107,64 ± 54,70 MET-min/semana y el puntaje promedio total en el PSQI fue 7,51 ± 2,92, incrementaron su uso de ınternet y el 94% utilizó teléfonos inteligentes. Se encontró una relación negativa moderada entre la puntuación media total del PSQI y la duración del sueño, y entre la eficiencia habitual del sueño y la puntuación media general del PSQI. Discusión y conclusión: La pandemia de COVID-19 ha afectado negativamente la actividad física y la calidad del sueño de los estudiantes, revelando la necesidad de intervenciones específicas para mejorar esta situación. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Salud Mental is the property of Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatria Ramon de la Fuente and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
