Physical fitness is a powerful indicator of health. Sleep condition plays an essential role in maintaining quality of life and is an important marker that predicts physical fitness. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sleep conditions (sleep quality, sleep duration, bedtime) and multiple physical fitness indicators (body mass index (BMI), flexibility, abdominal muscle strength and endurance, cardiopulmonary endurance) in a well-characterized population of Taiwanese adults aged 23 to 65. The applied data were obtained from the National Physical Fitness Examination Survey 2014 conducted in Taiwan. We assessed the association of the sleep conditions with physical fitness performances in Taiwanese adults by using the multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS) method with a total of 69,559 samples. The results show that sleep duration, sleep quality, and bedtime were statistically significant influence factors on physical fitness performances with different degrees. Gender was an important factor that affects the effects of daily sleep conditions on performances of physical fitness. Sleep duration was the most important factor as it was simultaneously correlated with BMI, sit-ups, and sit-and-reach indicators in both genders. Bedtime and sleep quality were only associated with sit-ups performance in both genders.
身体活动能力是健康的有力指标。睡眠状况在维持生活质量方面起着至关重要的作用，也是预测身体活动能力的重要指标。本研究旨在确定睡眠状况（睡眠质量、睡眠时间、就寝时间）与多项身体活动能力指标（身体质量指数 (BMI)、柔韧性、腹肌力量和耐力、心肺耐力）之间的关系，研究对象为 23 至 65 岁的台湾成年人。应用数据来自 2014 年在台湾进行的全国体力活动检查调查。我们使用多元自适应回归样条 (MARS) 方法，对 69559 名样本进行分析，评估了睡眠状况与台湾成年人身体活动能力表现之间的关系。结果表明，睡眠时间、睡眠质量和就寝时间是身体活动能力表现的重要影响因素，具有不同程度的统计学意义。性别是影响日常睡眠状况对身体活动能力表现影响的重要因素。睡眠时间是最重要的因素，因为它与男女两性的 BMI、仰卧起坐和坐立前伸指标同时相关。就寝时间和睡眠质量仅与男女两性的仰卧起坐表现相关。
