In-Whi Hwang; Soo-Ji Hwang; Jun-Hao Shen; Jisu Kim; Jung-Min Lee – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
This study examined the impact of Catch-Up Sleep Ratio (CSR) on health outcomes in Korean adults. Adjusted for age and gender, 2,484 participants were categorized into three groups: Weekday (CSR <1.0), Average (1.0 = CSR < 1.5), and Weekend (1.5 = CSR). Weekday participants were less likely to meet WHO's moderate physical activity guidelines…
