Uvod: Kadar govorimo o preventivi bolezni in promociji zdravja ne moremo spregledati pomembnosti spanja, ki organizmu omogoča ohranjanje homeostaze. Ker sta s staranjem tudi pri zdravih posameznikih brez motenj spanja okrnjeni njegova dolžina in kakovost, postajajo v starajoči se družbi težave s spanjem vse večji javnozdravstveni izziv. Močno priporočena strategija za izboljšanje kakovosti spanja je telesna dejavnost, vendar njeni parametri za najboljši spalni izid še niso znani. Potencialno učinkovita bi lahko bila hoja, ki predstavlja krajevno, časovno in finančno dostopno obliko gibanja večini odrasle populacije. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil pregledati in predstaviti obstoječo znanstveno literaturo na temo povezanosti količine hoje z lastnostmi spanja pri zdravih odraslih osebah. Metode dela: V diplomskem delu smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo dela s pregledom literature. Pregledana je bila elektronska podatkovna zbirka PubMed. Izbrani so bili članki v angleškem jeziku, objavljeni v obdobju 2014?2024, v katerih so avtorji raziskovali povezanost med količino hoje in subjektivno ali objektivno pridobljenimi lastnostmi spanja. Kakovost raziskav je bila ocenjena z lestvico PEDro, analizirane pa so bile glede na zasnovo, kakovost, značilnosti preiskovancev, uporabljene merilne postopke ter ugotovitve glede povezanosti med količino hoje in lastnostmi spanja. Rezultati: V pregled literature je bilo vključenih osem raziskav, ki so skupno vključevale 2.134 preiskovancev. V raziskavah so količino hoje najpogosteje ugotavljali z merjenjem števila korakov, medtem ko je pri merjenju lastnosti spanja prevladovala uporaba Pittsburškega vprašalnika kakovosti spanja. Večja količina hoje je povezana z izboljšanjem kakovosti spanja, deleža globokega spanja in REM latence, s krajšim časom nočnega bedenja, z manjšo potrebo po uporabi zdravil za spodbujanje spanja ter boljšim dnevnim delovanjem, hkrati pa tudi z manjšo pojavnostjo nespečnosti oziroma tveganjem za njen razvoj (p < 0,05). Razprava in zaključek: Redna hoja je povezana z izboljšanjem številnih lastnosti spanja pri odraslih osebah v različnih življenjskih obdobjih, vendar si rezultati med raziskavami niso bili vedno enotni. Potrebne so nadaljnje raziskave z uporabo poenotenih vadbenih programov hoje ter merilnih orodij lastnosti spanja, ki bodo omogočile oblikovanje priporočil glede doseganja dnevnega števila korakov za kar najboljši spalni izid.

• Title: Correlation between the amount of walking activity and sleep parameters in healthy adults – literature review : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Sleep is a physiological phenomenon, responsible for the maintenance of homeostasis of our organism. During aging, sleep undergoes a continuous process of change, both qualitative and quantitative in nature. One of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century is to guarantee the quality of life of an overall aging society. Exercise training is a widely recommended strategy for the management of sleep-related problems, but its optimal parameters are not yet known. Regular walking activity seems to hold some potential, while simultaneously being easily accessible to most of the adult population. Purpose: We wanted to determine the correlation between the amount of walking activity and sleep parameters in healthy adults based on a review of the literature. Methods: The literature search was completed in the PubMed database. Articles published between 2014 and 2024 were selected in which the authors investigated the correlation between the amount of walking and subjectively or objectively acquired sleep parameters. The quality of the studies was assessed using the PEDro scale. The studies were analysed regarding the study design and quality, sample characteristics, measuring tools and findings on the correlation between the amount of walking and sleep parameters. Results: Eight studies were included in the literature review, involving 2134 subjects. For measuring the amount of walking researchers mostly relied on pedometers for step counting. The most used sleep measuring tool was Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Regular walking activity seems to be correlated with improvements in sleep quality, REM latency and percentage of deep sleep, with shorter wake after sleep onset, lesser use of sleep medication and better daily functioning. Statistically significant (p < 0.05) correlation between the amount of walking and lesser occurrence of insomnia and risk for its development, was also discovered. Discussion and conclusion: Regular walking activity is correlated with an improvement in several sleep parameters; nevertheless, there are some differences within findings among studies. Further research is needed, including randomized controlled trials, unified walking programs and sleep measuring tools, to enable the design of general recommendations regarding the number of steps for best sleep outcome in a specific life period.
