Abstract

Sleep and physical activity are important health behaviors promoting cardiovascular health. Large bodies of literature have documented the direct effects of sleep and physical activity on risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). This review aimed to highlight the interactive effect of sleep and physical activity on CVD risk. The extant literature suggests that sleep and physical activity are lifestyle behaviors that interact and act synergistically to influence CVD risk. Adopting healthy lifestyles encompassing both adequate sleep and regular physical activity is optimal to maintain cardiovascular health.
