However, the relation-ship between overall physical fitness and sleep-related problems in adolescents remains underexplored. Therefore, the aim ofthis study was to analyze the association between overall physical fitness and sleep-related problems in adolescents. This cross-sectional study included 812 adolescents (median age: 14 years [interquartile range = 12–17]; 54.9% girls) from the Eating Healthyand Daily Life Activities (EHDLA) data. Physical fitness was measured objectively using the Assessing the Levels of PHysicalActivity and fitness (ALPHA-Fit) battery for children and adolescents and a flexibility test, while sleep-related problems wereevaluated using the BEARS sleep screening tool (B = Bedtime problems, E = Excessive daytime sleepiness, A = Awakenings dur-ing the night, R = Regularity and duration of sleep, S = Snoring). Generalized linear models were used to examine the associationof overall physical fitness with the different components of sleep-related problems. The odds of experiencing sleep-related prob-lems decreased significantly with each kilogram increase in handgrip strength (odds ratio [OR] = 0.97, 95% confidence interval[CI] 0.94–0.99), and with each standard deviation increase in overall physical fitness (OR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.59–0.99). In contrast,despite not statistically significant, an increase in long jump appeared to reduce the sleep-related problems (OR = 0.91; 95% CI0.82–1.02), while a longer time in the 4×10-m shuttle run test might increase sleep problems (OR = 1.12; 95% CI 0.98–1.28). Inconclusion, greater levels of physical fitness, particularly muscular strength, may be key for reducing sleep-related problems,emphasizing the importance of personalized training programs.The authors received no specific funding for this work.

Physical fitness, particularly cardiorespiratory fitness, has been shown to positively impact sleep quality. However, the relation-ship between overall physical fitness and sleep-related problems in adolescents remains underexplored. Therefore, the aim ofthis study was to analyze the association between overall physical fitness and sleep-related problems in adolescents. This cross-sectional study included 812 adolescents (median age: 14 years [interquartile range = 12–17]; 54.9% girls) from the Eating Healthyand Daily Life Activities (EHDLA) data. Physical fitness was measured objectively using the Assessing the Levels of PHysicalActivity and fitness (ALPHA-Fit) battery for children and adolescents and a flexibility test, while sleep-related problems wereevaluated using the BEARS sleep screening tool (B = Bedtime problems, E = Excessive daytime sleepiness, A = Awakenings dur-ing the night, R = Regularity and duration of sleep, S = Snoring). Generalized linear models were used to examine the associationof overall physical fitness with the different components of sleep-related problems.
