RESUMENLa actividad física contribuye a reducir el riesgo de enfermedades crónicas y mejorar la calidad del sueño en adultos mayores. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar la asociación entre los síntomas de insomnio, la siesta y la participación en actividades físicas recreativas de adultos mayores insertos en la comunidad. Se utilizaron los datos de la Red de Estudios de Fragilidad en adultos mayores brasileños, de la ciudad de Campinas, Brasil. Se analizaron los datos de 689 adultos mayores con respecto a las características sociodemográficas, práctica de actividades físicas recreativas, siestas y su duración, los síntomas de insomnio y el uso de medicamentos para dormir. Se encontró una asociación significativa entre la práctica de caminata y la siesta de corta duración, la cual puede ser beneficiosa para la calidad del sueño y la salud de los adultos mayores. Por consiguiente, promover la práctica de caminar puede consistir en una intervención de enfermería que favorezca el patrón de sueño de las personas mayores. DESCRIPTORES ABSTRACTThe practice of physical activities contributes to reducing the risk of chronic diseases and improves sleep patterns in the elderly. This research aimed to investigate the association between insomnia symptoms and daytime nap and the participation in physical leisure activities in elderly community residents. Data from the Studies Network of the Fragility in Brazilian Elderly (Campinas site), were used. Information from 689 elderly was analyzed, regarding sociodemographic characterization, physical leisure activity, occurrence of daytime napping and its duration, symptoms of insomnia and use of sleep medication. A significant association was found between the practice of walking and the daytime nap of short duration. Studies indicate that a short nap can benefit the quality of sleep and health of the elderly. Therefore, promoting the practice of walking can be a nursing intervention that favors the sleep patterns of the elderly.
