The sample in this study was the elderly with a total of 25. The sampling method used was purposive sampling. Data analysis used the Kolmogorov Smirnov test with p value < 0.05. The research instrument used the International Physical Activity Quistionairre (IPAQ) and the KJBPS-Insomnia Rating Scale. Physical activity carried out by the elderly is classified as light with a frequency of 14 (56%), while 11 (44%) are included in the moderate category. The incidence rate of insomnia in respondents was mostly in the mild category with a frequency of 14 (56%). Information can be obtained that among 25 respondents who did light physical activity, 9 people (64.3%) had mild insomnia. And from 13 respondents who had moderate physical activity, there were 5 people (45.5%) who had mild insomnia. The results of statistical tests with chi-square analysis obtained p value = 0.330 (p > 0.05), meaning that there is no significant relationship between physical activity and the incidence of insomnia in the elderly.
