Abstract EN
Research indicates that physical exercise can contribute to better sleep quality.
This study investigates the six-week influence of a combined intervention on self-rated sleep quality, daytime mood, and quality of life.
A nonclinical sample of 114 adults with chronic initiating and the maintaining of sleep complaints participated in the study.
The intervention group of 70 adults underwent moderate physical exercise, conducted weekly, plus sleep education sessions.
Improvements among participants assigned to the intervention group relative to the waiting-list control group (n=44) were noted for subjective sleep quality, daytime mood, depressive symptoms and vitality.
Derived from PSQI subscores, the intervention group reported increased sleep duration, shortened sleep latency, fewer awakenings after sleep onset, and overall better sleep efficiency compared to controls.
The attained scores were well sustained and enhanced over a time that lasted through to the follow-up 18 weeks later.
These findings have implications in treatment programs concerning healthy lifestyle approaches for adults with chronic sleep complaints.
