“…Comparative analysis indicated that both intervention groups achieved a notably lower mean sleep quality score, evaluated through the PSQI, compared to the control group. However, no significant difference was found between the two forms of exercise in terms of their impact on sleep quality [61].…”

Introduction: Interest has recently frown in the use of exercise in managing hypothyroidism associated impairments. The objective of this research was to assess and contrast the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise regimens, and a combination of both, on depressive symptoms and sleep quality in women with managed hypothyroidism. Material and methods: A total of sixty women, aged 35 to 45 years, with controlled hypothyroidism associated with depression, and sleep problems were randomly assigned to four equally-sized groups: aerobic exercise (AE), resistance exercise (RE), combined AE/RE, and a control group. They engaged in low to moderate intensity workouts, three times a week, during a span of 12 weeks, while also undergoing levothyroxine therapy. Outcome measures included depression assessed with the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) and sleep quality, evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: The BDI-II and PSQI showed significant improvements in all exercise groups in comparison to the first measurements and the non-exercising group (p < 0.05). Most significantly, the AE/RE group demonstrated greater improvements in both outcomes then the AE and RE groups alone (p < 0.05). Conclusions: In well-managed hypothyroid women, AE, RE, and combined AE/RE can improve depression and sleep quality. However, combined AE/RE appears to induce the greatest improvements in both measures.

Background Emerging research shows a high prevalence of fatigue and sleep problems among university students. The present study evaluates the effects of regular aerobic exercise on sleep quality and fatigue level among female students (ages 18–26) who reside in dormitories. Methods This quasi-experimental study involving 67 participants consisted of one experimental group (i.e., assigned aerobic exercise) and one control group (i.e., not assigned aerobic exercise). Participants in the experimental group received three one-hour sessions aerobic exercise weekly ranging from mild to moderate intensity for eight-week. Sleep quality and fatigue level were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and standard Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20), respectively. These variables were assessed at baseline, week four, and week eight of the study. Results After four and 8 weeks of the intervention, participants in the aerobic group showed improvement in the score of sleep quality ( p < 0.001 and p < 0.0001, respectively) and its components (except for sleep duration after 4 weeks intervention). Also, aerobic exercise resulted in a significant reduction of the total score of fatigue and its dimensions in weeks four and eight, compared to the control group ( p < 0.001). Conclusions Four-week aerobic exercise with mild intensity had no significant effect on sleep duration. Conversely, intensified aerobic exercise for 8 weeks influenced all components of sleep quality. Trial registration The study was registered on 6/2/2015 in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) with number IRCT201412282324N15 .
