Physical activity and sports participation are known to improve sleep quality in adolescents. The objective was to investigate how the characteristics of different sports affected this relationship in elite athletes. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 1,831 young Spanish elite athletes (1,059 males and 772 females) from 11 to 20 years old who self-reported their sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Questionnaire and provided information on their sports practice. Technical sports reported significantly better sleep quality than team sports (p=.004, d =- 0.39, small). Additionally, individual competition sports reported better sleep quality than team competition sports (p=.033, d=- 0.15, trivial). Differences by the type of metabolism were not statistically significant. Better sleep quality was reported in outdoors training environment sports compared to indoors training environment sports (p=.023, d=-0.11, trivial). The type of sports practiced may influence sleep quality in adolescents and highlights the importance of considering sport characteristics when promoting sleep health. Further research is necessary to explore the underlying mechanisms and to validate these findings across different age groups and populations. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.es 0.9 2024 REHABILITATION 140 / 175 = 0.8 2024 Q4 T3 REHABILITATION 140 / 175 = 0.8 2024 Q4 T3 SPORT SCIENCES 111 / 134 = 0.828 2024 Q4 T3 0.333 2024 Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation 2024 Q3 Sports Science 2024 Q4 1.8 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Beltran-Garrido, Jose V.
