Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to determine the relationship between physical activity and dietary patterns and sleep quality in 11-13 year old male students in Qom.
Methods: The present study is an applied study in terms of its purpose and a quantitative study in terms of its approach. The method used in the present study is a descriptive-correlational survey. The research population in this study included all 11-13 year old male students in Qom in 1402-403. In this study, 100 students were selected using convenience sampling. Correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression were used to examine the relationship between the research variables. Also, statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 27 at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The results of the study showed that the prediction of the morning performance component of sleep quality of respondents based on physical activity is significant, but not based on dietary pattern. Therefore, it can be concluded that physical activity can predict the morning performance component of sleep quality.
Conclusion: According to the results, the present study showed that students who are more physically active have better dietary patterns and better sleep, and promotional programs can be designed to increase physical activity and improve dietary and sleep patterns in this age group.
