The aim of this study is to assess the differences in standing posture performance during dual tasking between healthy young adults with a good and poor sleep quality. Thirty-five healthy participants (23.09 \u00b1 3.97 years) performed a postural task (standing posture single task ((ST)) and a dual task (DT): quiet standing while performing a concurrent cognitive task, while the total excursion of the center of pressure (TOTEX CoP), the displacement anterior\u2013posterior (CoP-AP) and medial\u2013lateral (CoP-ML), the mean total velocity displacement of CoP (MVELO CoP) and ellipse sway area (CEA) were measured with a force plate. After assessing the sleep quality with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, they were divided into two groups (good ((n = 21)) and poor ((n = 14)) sleep quality) to establish comparisons. This study revealed no significant differences in TOTEX CoP, CoP-ML, CoP-AP, MVELO CoP, and CEA among both sleep quality groups. In conclusion, differences in the sleep quality (good or poor sleep quality) among young adults appear not to be a relevant factor in the CoP variation, but the DT versus ST can compromise postural control performance independently of the sleep quality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/j4030021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,5]],"date-time":"2021-07-05T04:18:21Z","timestamp":1625458701000},"page":"257-265","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Postural Control and Sleep Quality in Cognitive Dual Tasking in Healthy Young Adults"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4446-2894","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marina","family":"Saraiva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"RoboCorp Laboratory, i2A, Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, 3046-854 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Faculty of Sports, University of Porto, 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9998-4702","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joel","family":"Marouvo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"RoboCorp Laboratory, i2A, Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, 3046-854 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Faculty of Sports, University of Porto, 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7273-8774","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Orlando","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport and Health Department, School of Health and Human Development, Comprehensive Health Research Center (CHRC), University of \u00c9vora, 7000-671 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1500-355X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"RoboCorp Laboratory, i2A, Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, 3046-854 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Coimbra, CEMMPRE, 3030-788 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Sector of Physiotherapy, School of Health Sciences, Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, 2411-901 Leiria, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4109-2939","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o Paulo","family":"Vilas-Boas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LABIOMEP-UP, Faculty of Sports and CIFI2D, the University of Porto, 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"193","DOI":"10.1016\/0966-6362(96)82849-9","article-title":"Human balance and posture control during standing and walking","volume":"3","author":"Winter","year":"1995","journal-title":"Gait Posture"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"ii7","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afl077","article-title":"Postural orientation and equilibrium: What do we need to know about neural control of balance to prevent falls?","volume":"35","author":"Horak","year":"2006","journal-title":"Age Ageing"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ku, P.X., Azuan, N., Osman, A., Yusof, A., Abu, W., and Wan, B.
