Methods A randomized clinical trial was conducted from November 2014 to June 2016. A total of 109 children (age 8–11 years) with overweight/obesity were randomized into an exercise training or control group. The exercise program included aerobic and resistance training 3 to 5 days/week. The control group participants continued their usual lifestyle. Device-assessed sleep outcomes were measured using wrist-worn actigraphy at baseline, in the middle of the exercise program (10th week), and at postintervention for seven consecutive days (24 h/day), and sleep-disordered breathing was measured via the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire. Results The exercise training program had a statistically significant effect on wake after sleep onset time (−10.8 min/day, −0.5 SDs, p = 0.040). No other chronic or acute effects (i.e., the subsequent night of attending a session of the exercise training program) were observed on the remaining sleep outcomes. Conclusions A 20-week exercise training program reduced wake after sleep onset time in children with overweight/obesity. Future randomized trials that include a sample of children with poor sleep health at baseline are needed to better appreciate the role of exercise in sleep health.}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, Grant/Award Numbers: DEP2013-47540, DEP2016-79512-R, DEP2017-91544-EXP, RYC-2011-09011}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, Grant/Award Number: FPU17/ 04802}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, Grant/Award Number: FJC2018- 037925-I}, organization = {Alicia Koplowitz Foundation}, organization = {University of Granada, Proper Research Plan}, organization = {Units of Excellence, Scientific Excellence Unit on Exercise and Health (UCEES}, organization = {Junta of Andalusia, Ministry of Knowledge, Research and Universities}, organization = {European Regional Development Fund, Grant/Award Number: SOMM17/6107/UGR}, organization = {SAMID III network}, organization = {RETICS, funded by the PN I+D+I 2017–2021 (Spain)}, organization = {EXERNET Research Network on Exercise and Health, Grant/Award Number: DEP2005-00046/ACTI}, organization = {European Union’s 2020 research and innovation program, Grant/Award Number: No.667302}, organization = {Andalusian Operational Programme supported with European Regional Development Fund, Grant/Award Number: B-CTS-355-UGR18}, publisher = {Wiley}, title = {Effects of exercise on sleep in children with overweight/ obesity: a randomized clinical trial}, doi = {10.1002/oby.23945}, author = {Torres López, Lucía Victoria and Hidalgo Migueles, Jairo and Cadenas Sánchez, Cristina and Bendtsen, Marcus and Henriksson, Pontus and Mora González, José Rafael and Löf, Marie and Chaput, Jean Philippe and Ortega Porcel, Francisco Bartolomé}, }
