Good physical activity enhances sleep quality. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of physical activity on sleep quality among UiTM Seremban 3 students. It aims to identify key factors contributing to better sleep quality, such as being physically active and having an active lifestyle. Using a Cross-sectional design of a waist-worn accelerometer (Actigraph GT3X+), the study investigates the effect of physical activity on sleep quality among UiTM Seremban 3 students (n=26, age 22.3 ± 1.04) through descriptive analysis and simple linear regression. The study revealed that 38% of 26 participants showed poor physical activity results, with only 8% having a good physical activity level. In addition, 58% experienced average sleep quality, while only 12% experienced good sleep quality. Physical activity has an insignificant effect on sleep quality (Simple Linear Regression = 0.671, p < 0.05). It showed that physical activity has no impact on sleep quality. In conclusion, the majority of students experience a lack of physical activity due to their hectic lifestyles, which results in low physical activity. It is suggested that good physical activity will help you have great sleep quality.
