Abstract

Physical exercise is currently considered a non pharmacological alternative to improve sleep quality, but due to the lack of knowledge of some professionals, it is not widely used for this purpose. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare sleep quality, the presence of sleep disorders and insomnia, and the quality of life in patients who practice regular physical exercise (PG) and those who did not practice regular physical exercise (NPG), attended in Basic Health Units (BHUs) in the municipality of Divinópolis, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The study was a cross sectional observational study carried out with 49 patients recruited from BHUs in the city of Divinópolis, Minas Gerais. They were divided into two groups constituted by those who practiced regular physical exercise (PG) and those who did not practice regular physical exercise (NPG), and then evaluated for sleep quality and the presence of sleep disorders, perception of insomnia, and quality of life addressed according to the respective questionnaires: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index and SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire. When comparing the groups, there was a statistically significant difference regarding the items good sleep quality, presence of severe insomnia, general health status, social aspects and mental health. Thus, it is suggested that patients who practiced regular physical exercise attended in BHUs have a higher prevalence of good sleep quality, lower rate of severe insomnia and better quality of life.
