Despite existing evidence of the positive relationship between physical activity and quality of sleep, some other factors could mediate this association. The purpose of the present study was to clarify the interaction between the level of physical activity and sleep in adolescents depending on their gender. Methods: A total of 12,459 subjects 11 to 19 years old (5073 male and 5016 female) reported data regarding their quality of sleep and their level of physical activity. Results: Better quality of sleep was reported by males regardless of the level of physical activity (d=0.25, P<0.001). Better quality of sleep was reported by active subjects (P<0.05), and it improved in both sexes as the level of physical activity was higher (P<0.001). Conclusions: Male adolescents have better sleep quality than females regardless of their competitive level. The higher the adolescents' physical activity level the higher the quality of sleep. 000163145 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER-PUI-2018-336$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER-PUI-2018-337$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S25-D17$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/FPU13-05130$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/2016-BIO-03 000163145 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000163145 590__ $$a1.2$$b2023 000163145 591__ $$aSPORT SCIENCES$$b88 / 127 = 0.693$$c2023$$dQ3$$eT3 000163145 592__ $$a0.427$$b2023 000163145 593__ $$aPhysical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation$$c2023$$dQ2 000163145 593__ $$aSports Science$$c2023$$dQ3 000163145 593__ $$aOrthopedics and Sports Medicine$$c2023$$dQ3 000163145 594__ $$a2.9$$b2023 000163145 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000163145 700__ $$aBeltran-Garrido, Jose V. 000163145 700__ $$aHernadez-Gonzalez, Vicens 000163145 700__ $$aBueno-Antequera, Javier 000163145 700__ $$aOviedo-Caro, Miguel A. 000163145 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-0721-2447$$aMayolas-Pi, Carmen$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000163145 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-2644-9386$$aLegaz-Arrese, Alejandro$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000163145 700__ $$aReverter-Masia, Joaquin 000163145 7102_ $$11006$$2245$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
