目的：比较有规律晨跑的健康青少年与对照组的睡眠脑电模式和心理功能。尽管有多项研究表明，经常进行中等强度的运动与青少年良好的睡眠和心理功能有关，但对短期干预的有效性的研究较为有限。方法：51名青少年(平均年龄为18.30岁；27名女性[53%])参与研究；他们被随机分配到跑步组和对照组。跑步组连续3周每天早晨进行30min中等强度的平日跑步。在3周前和3周后对两组患者的睡眠脑电模式和心理功能进行评估。结果：与对照组相比，跑步组的客观睡眠改善(慢波睡眠增加，入睡潜伏期减少)。白天的主观睡眠质量、情绪和注意力得到改善，白天的嗜睡减少。结论：与对照组相比，连续3周的工作日晨跑30分钟对健康青少年的睡眠和心理功能有积极影响。跑步是廉价的，而且在学校课表中很容易实施，由于在3周内客观和主观上都有改善，应该提倡定期体育锻炼。(C)2012年青少年健康和医学学会。版权所有。
Purpose: To compare sleep electroencephalographic patterns and psychological functioning of healthy adolescents running regularly in the mornings with those of control subjects. Although several studies have shown that regular moderate-to-vigorous exercise is related to favorable sleep and psychological functioning in adolescents, research on the effectiveness of short interventions is more limited.Methods: Fifty-one adolescents (mean age = 18.30 years; 27 female [53%]) took part in the study; they were randomly assigned either to a running or to a control group. The running group went running every morning for 30 minutes at moderate intensity during weekdays for 3 consecutive weeks. Sleep electroencephalographic patterns and psychological functioning were assessed in both groups before and after the 3-week period. All participants also kept a sleep log for 3 weeks.Results: Objective sleep improved (slow-wave sleep increased; sleep onset latency decreased) in the running group compared with the control group. Subjective sleep quality, mood, and concentration during the day improved, whereas sleepiness during the day decreased.Conclusions: Thirty minutes of running in the morning during weekdays for 3 consecutive weeks impacted positively on sleep and psychological functioning in healthy adolescents compared with control subjects. Running is inexpensive and easy to implement during school schedules, and as both objective and subjective improvements were observed within 3 weeks, regular physical exercise should be promoted.
