“…As previously indicated [ 17 ], habitual sleep duration represents a trade-off with waking activities. While the nature of waking-related activities, such as the stressfulness of work, type of diet, and the intensity of physical activity, can influence sleep [ 18 , 19 , 20 ], the time spent on these waking activities also competes with sleep duration in a 24 h world [ 17 , 21 ], warranting the need to maintain sleep and wakefulness [ 22 ].…”

The objective was to investigate the association between time spent on waking activities and nonaligned sleep duration in a representative sample of the US population. We analysed time use data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), 2015–2017 (N = 31,621). National Sleep Foundation (NSF) age-specific sleep recommendations were used to define recommended (aligned) sleep duration. The balanced, repeated, replicate variance estimation method was applied to the ATUS data to calculate weighted estimates. Less than half of the US population had a sleep duration that mapped onto the NSF recommendations, and alignment was higher on weekdays (45%) than at weekends (33%). The proportion sleeping longer than the recommended duration was higher than those sleeping shorter on both weekdays and weekends (p < 0.001). Time spent on work, personal care, socialising, travel, TV watching, education, and total screen time was associated with nonalignment to the sleep recommendations. In comparison to the appropriate recommended sleep group, those with a too-short sleep duration spent more time on work, travel, socialising, relaxing, and leisure. By contrast, those who slept too long spent relatively less time on each of these activities. The findings indicate that sleep duration among the US population does not map onto the NSF sleep recommendations, mostly because of a higher proportion of long sleepers compared to short sleepers. More time spent on work, travel, and socialising and relaxing activities is strongly associated with an increased risk of nonalignment to NSF sleep duration recommendations.

“…Nowadays, people are paying more and more attention to the concept of health. Among them, exercise has an important impact on health [1] .Exercise can not only enhance physical tness, prevent and treat certain diseases [28,29] ,but also improve people's sleep quality and fatigue [27] . Effective stretching can also be used as an exercise therapy to treat body pain and improve physical function [5,24,33] ,but modern people do not pay attention to stretching after exercise and lack relevant knowledge.…”

Background Studies have reported that exercise stretching therapy has a certain effect on improving knee joint pain and knee joint function.However, few studies have compared the effects of post-exercise stretching and non-stretching on strain of knee joint movement system. The purpose of this study is to observe the influence of whether people have stretched after exercise on knee joint pain and iliotibial band tension,and to compare the difference between the stretched group and the unstretched group after exercise for further discussion.Methods Collecting data analysis of 71 people who love sports in the First People's Hospital of Xiaoshan District from December 2019 to October 2020, including the non-stretching group after exercise (group A, n=40) and post-exercise stretching Group (Group B, n=31), compare the differences in knee pain and iliotibial band tension between the two groups and analyze the relationship between this difference and stretching.Results The incidence of knee pain and iliotibial band tension in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (P<0.05). The risk of knee pain in group A was 2.940 times greater than that in group B. The incidence of iliotibial band tension in group A was 4.190 times higher than that in group B. Conclusions 1. People who do not stretch after exercise are at higher risk of knee pain than those who stretch. 2. People who do not stretch are more likely to develop iliotibial band tension than those who stretch. 3. Stretching after exercise helps to relieve the stiffness of the iliotibial band, maintain the stability of the knee joint, and reduce the occurrence of knee pain.

Background: Sleep quality and fatigue have been documented as a challenge for college students, with reports indicating impacts on daytime functioning and academic achievement. The present study evaluates the effect of Pilates exercise on sleep and fatigue among female student residents in the dormitory.Methods: This quasi-experimental study involving 67 participants consisted of one experimental group (assigned Pilates exercise) and one control group. Participants in the experimental group received three one-hour sessions of Pilates exercise weekly for eight-week. Sleep quality and fatigue levels were measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and standard Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20), respectively. These variables were assessed at baseline, weeks four and eight of the study.Results: After four and eight weeks, findings showed an improvement in the sleep quality score (p < 0.001 and p < 0.0001, respectively). After four weeks of intervention, the mean score of the subjective sleep quality and daytime dysfunction in the Pilates group was significantly less than the control group (p < 0.001 and p < 0.002, respectively). Eight weeks of intervention had an additional effect on sleep duration and habitual sleep efficiency (p < 0.04 and p < 0.034, respectively). Also, Pilates exercise significantly reduced the total score of fatigue and its dimensions in weeks four and eight, compared to the control group (p < 0.001).Conclusions: Eight weeks of the Pilate's exercises had a significant improvement in most components of sleep quality; however, the effect of Pilates exercise on fatigue was evident from week four of the intervention.Trial registration: The study was registered on 6/2/2015 in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) with IRCT201412282324N15.
