The amount of physical activities were influenced sleep hours(p<.001 ; B<A,C), sleep quality(p<.001 ; B<A,C), %fat(p<.001 ; A,B>C), LBM(p<.001 ; A,B<C), WHR(p<.001 ; C<B,A), muscle strength(p<.001 ; C<B,A), muscle endurance(p<.05 ; C,B>A), flexibility(p<.001; C,B>A), and cardiovascular endurance(p<.001 ; C<B,A). Therefore, maintaining moderate intensity’ physical activity is positive impact on sleep and health related fitness, improving female college students’ quality of life.
