“…These findings were found to be homologous with findings in young adults following intense exercise [113], but contrary to the effects of intense exercise on adults [114]. The findings by Dworak et al [112] are especially salient as it was the first to experimentally report the benefits of exercise on adolescent sleep patterns, with high-intensity exercise being more relevant for this population.…”

“…The energy conservation theory posits that sleep is a state of enforced rest so as to limit activity and energy expenditure. This theory seems to lend support to studies finding longer durations of SWS in physically fit participants and individuals that participated in high volumes of aerobic exercise [112,[137][138][139]. However, studies on ultra-long distance exercise cast doubts on the validity of the theory [114,140,141].…”

“…In contrast, sleep caused adenosine levels to progressively decline while increasing brain adenosine triphosphate and adenosine diphosphate. In their follow up study, Dworak and colleagues sought to examine the effects of an acute bout high-intensity exercise on adolescent sleep patterns [112]. Polysomnography (PSG) sleep patterns were compared between a moderate exercise (65%-70% at maximal heart rate for 30 min) and high-intensity exercise (three sets at 85%-90% at maximal heart rate for 10 min each) condition on a cycle ergometer in the evening.…”

Abstract:Sleep is crucial to the physiological and psychological development of youth. The implications of insufficient sleep on learning and school performance are well documented. However, adequate sleep often goes unmet due to a combination of biological, societal, and environmental factors, especially during adolescence. In the present review, the changes to adolescent sleep patterns, and its consequences on cognition and learning are briefly explored. We then review the empirical literature of the role of exercise in regulating adolescent sleep patterns, and its potential mechanisms.

“…However, despite the research that has been done on sleep and exercise in adults (Driver and Taylor, 2000), there is insufficient knowledge about the effects of physical activity on sleep patterns in children. Recently, Dworak et al (2008) studied the effects of exercise on school-aged children and provide supplementary evidence for the hypothesis of homoeostatic sleep regulation. To clarify the association of physical activity and sleep duration, further research is needed in children.…”

To assess the association between short sleep duration and overweight/obesity and body fat (BF) and to identify correlates of short sleep duration in a sample of Portuguese children. A cross-sectional study of children 7-9 years (n = 4511) was performed between October 2002 and June 2003. Weight, height, and skinfolds were measured, and parents filled out a questionnaire about family characteristics as well as sleep duration. The prevalence of overweight/obesity and BF (%) both decreased by long sleep duration. After adjusted for confounders, the odds ratio (OR) for overweight/obesity and sleep duration were as follows: reference >11 h/d; 10-11 h/d, OR: 1.3; confidence interval (CI):1.26, 1.33; 9-10 h/d, OR: 1.16; CI: 1.13, 1.19; and <9 h, OR: 3.22; CI: 3.11, 3.32. Children whose parents had a low educational level slept less time during each night than children whose parents had a higher educational level; children who spent more time watching television slept less time than those who watched less television, and those children engaged in physical activity slept more time each night than sedentary children. Our results showed an inverse relationship between long sleep duration and overweight/obesity prevalence as well as with body fat, and these findings are important because sleep duration is a potentially modifiable risk factor that could be important to consider in the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

“…In a laboratory study of 11 children, a period of high-intensity aerobic exercise during the day was followed by increased time spent in deeper sleep stages (slow wave sleep) and improved ease of falling asleep compared to sleep after less intense exercise (Dworak et al, 2008).…”
