“…As a result, there is increasing awareness that treatment of their sleep problems could significantly improve the quality of life of older individuals (Koh et al, 2006). As a healthy, safe, inexpensive, and simple means, exercise can improve sleep quality, and offers a potentially attractive alternative or adjuvant treatment for insomnia (Youngstedt, 2005;Buman and King, 2010;Bonardi et al, 2016). As our results show, exercise increases night sleep time by reducing the nighttime activities and also increases the number of second deep sleep and daytime activity intensity (Figures 4B-D,H) and shows better sleep mode compared to the control group because individuals with better sleep quality exhibit higher activity during the day (Buman and King, 2010).…”

“…In addition, exercise training is now a well-established preventive measure and therapy for cardiovascular diseases (Villella and Villella, 2014;Cattadori et al, 2018). Also, as an important factor affecting the quality of life of the elderly, autonomous activity and sleep status are highly correlated with happiness and mental state (Farholm et al, 2017), while autonomous physical activity and sleep quality can also be improved through exercise (Edinger et al, 1993;Wang and Youngstedt, 2014;Bonardi et al, 2016). However, studies have also shown that hypoxia, which is equivalent to conditions of mild to moderate altitudes, can lead to improved and deteriorated sleep (Berssenbrugge et al, 1984;Kinsman et al, 2005;Sargent et al, 2013).…”

Mild normobaric hypoxia (NH) and modest exercise have multiple beneficial effects on health, but the changes in physiological function induced by NH and/or exercise remain unclear. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the specific effects of NH and/or exercise on cardiac function and myocardial structure and behavior including sleep-activity and negative geotaxis in aged Drosophila. We also assessed the survival rate of flies after hypoxia and/or exercise. One-thousand wild-type w 1118 virgin female flies were randomly divided into four groups and treated with NH and/or exercise from ages 3-6 weeks. We found that exercise remarkably delayed the decline of actin and myosin and the age-related changes in cardiac structure, improved abnormal cardiac contraction, and enhanced the cardiac pumping force by inducing cardiac hypertrophy and delaying deterioration of cardiac contractility and diastolic compliance, and improved abnormal heart contraction. NH also increased the content of actin and myosin, but induced a decrease in heart diameter and heart rate, as well as an increase in the number of mitochondria and deeper sleep, which may be the manifestation of energy saving under long-term hypoxia. Both NH and exercise improved sleep quality and climbing ability of aged flies, as well as extended the maximum life span, which shows the benefits of hypoxia and exercise. Finally, the superposition of NH and exercise did not impart any obvious physiological and behavior improvement. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the appropriate combination of hypoxia and exercise.

“…The American National Sleep Foundation suggests to implement daily aerobic exercise for at least 150 min per week in order to improve sleep and to battle insomnia [106,107]. Additionally, strength training is suggested [108] in order to fall asleep faster and wake up less frequently throughout the night [109], and yoga exercises are primarily advised when stress is preventing people to fall asleep [110]. It seems that a combination of different types of exercise is most effective in improving different sleep outcomes simultaneously [109].…”

Background: One in two older adults report sleep problems, which not only cause fatigue, but also negatively affect general functioning, activities of daily living, and physical and mental health. Although it is known that physical activity is positively associated with sleep in older adults, the effects of physical activity programs on sleep in older adults has not been reviewed. The aim of this systematic review was to systematically review the effects of physical activity programs on sleep in generally healthy older adults aged 60+ years. Methods: Searches were performed in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, PEDro and CINAHL. The methodological quality of the included studies was rated using the 'Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies'. Only studies of moderate and strong quality were included. This review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42018094007). Results: Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria (six randomised controlled trials and eight pretest-posttest studies). Of these studies, five were moderate and nine were strong quality studies. Mean age of study samples ranged from 64 to 76 years. Exercise programs included various activities aimed at improving mobility, endurance and strength. Intervention duration ranged from 2 weeks to 12 months. Eleven studies used subjective measures of sleep, two used objective measures and one used both. Sixteen different sleep outcomes were reported. All but one study, found at least one significant improvement on sleep outcomes. No significantly detrimental effects were reported. Effect sizes, calculated in ten studies, ranged from 0,34-1,55 and were substantial (≥0,8) in four studies. Conclusions: This systematic review suggests that exercise programs positively affect various aspects of sleep in generally healthy older adults. More specifically, moderate intensity exercise programs, with a frequency of three times per week and a duration of 12 weeks up to 6 months, showed the highest number of significant improvements in different sleep outcomes in older adults. Furthermore, programs that offered single exercise types, such as Baduanjin, Tai chi and the silver yoga program, or a combination of exercises showed the highest proportion of significant versus reported effects on sleep outcomes.

“…The global percentage of individuals who are 65 years or more is expected to be doubled by 2040. This would increase the number of people suffering from sleep disorders (3). Insomnia is determined by symptoms like persistent inability to fall asleep or maintaining sleep.…”
