“…To detect the consistency in the effect of MBM on sleep quality, a sensitivity analysis was performed to remove two studies with outrageous effect sizes based on visually asymmetrical funnel plots (SMD = 0.5; SMD = 0.46) [ 48 , 53 ] ( Figure 3 ). Egger’s test indicated that the other 61 studies had low publication bias with good symmetric characteristics ( p = 0.191 > 0.05) ( Table S1 ).…”

(1) Background: Given that the most effective dose, optimal type, and most beneficial population for improving sleep with mindfulness-based movement (MBM) remains unknown, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis with moderator analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess these effects. (2) Methods: Three electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and EBSCO) were systematically searched for RCTs published through August 2021 for analysis. The risk of bias of the included studies was assessed with Review Manager 5.3, and the meta-analysis was performed in Stata 16.0. (3) Results: A meta-analysis of 61 RCTs with 2697 participants showed that MBM significantly improved sleep quality compared to controls (SMD = −0.794; 95% CI: −0.794 to −0.994, p < 0.001, I2 = 90.7%). Moderator analysis showed that a long-term MBM (SMD = −0.829; 95% CI: 0.945 to 0.712; p < 0.001) had a larger effect size on sleep than a short-term MBM (SMD = −0.714; 95% CI: 0.784 to 0.644; p < 0.001). Practicing at least twice per week (SMD = −0.793; 95% CI: −0.868 to −0.718; p < 0.001) was more effective compared to practicing once per week (SMD = −0.687; 95% CI: −0.804 to −0.570; p < 0.001). Studies with a total intervention time of more than 24 h also revealed better sleep quality improvement (SMD = −0.759; 95% CI: −0.865 to −0.653; p < 0.001). In addition, the healthy population and older adults gained more from MBM than the patients and younger adults. (4) Conclusions: MBM can effectively improve subjective sleep quality, and the optimal intervention dose of MBM can be utilized in future intervention studies to treat or improve sleep disturbance. (MBM more than twice a week for more than three months, with a total intervention time of more than 24 h).

“…Thus, exercise can coordinate the activity of nerve groups (which are essential for enhancing memory processes and increasing the integration of mature nerve cells into hippocampus-entorhinal circuits) (70). Furthermore, in exercise, the hormone endorphins increase, which helps the brain to focus on mental priorities for a longer period of time (71)(72)(73). Research has shown that exercise in young rats increases the number of new cells in the hippocampus and improves brain function (74)(75)(76).…”

The aim of this study was evaluating the effect of running training (RT) on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor TrKB, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), dark neurons and thickness of CA1 and dentate gyrus (DG), corticosterone and spatial memory performance in adult male rats exposed to chronic stress. Adult male wistar rats were randomly assigned to five groups: RT; exposure to chronic mild stress (CS); exposure to chronic mild stress followed by running training, (CS + RT), (CS + Recovery); control group. Findings indicated that the lowest expression of GFAP, number of dark neurons and corticosterone level, the highest thickness of CA1, DG, BDNF and TrKB and spatial memory performance were observed in the RT group. In the CS + RT group, expression of GFAP, the number of dark neurons and corticosterone level were lower, while thickness of CA1 and DG, BDNF, TrKB and spatial memory performance were higher compared to control and CS + Recovery. In the CS group, the expression of GFAP, the number of dark neurons and corticosterone level were highest and thickness of CA1 and DG, BDNF, TrKB and spatial memory performance were lowest among the study groups. In the CS + Recovery group, the expression of GFAP, the number of dark neurons and corticosterone level were lower, compared to the CS group. The study revealed that running training could attenuate the expression of GFAP, the number of dark neurons, corticosterone level and improve stress-induced reduction of BDNF, TrKB and spatial memory.

“…LY is a group exercise that originated in India in 1995 and consists of breathing techniques and simulated laughter. Exercises that encourage smiling and laughing are included, as well as clapping, arm and leg motions, breathing techniques, and light neck and shoulder stretches [7,8]. A study by Paul Bennett at Deakin University looked into the application of intradialytic LY for hemodialysis patients in 2015.…”

Clinical Effects of Yoga and Meditational Practices on the Holistic Health of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: A Systematic Review

As the world accelerates, sedentary and unhealthy lifestyles have an increasingly negative impact on human physical and emotional well-being. Millions of people globally are thought to have chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is frequently brought on by diabetes, hypertension, and glomerulonephritis. Over time, the illness gets worse and eventually results in irreversible renal failure. A person's life can be seriously affected by CKD in many different ways, including emotionally, socially, physically, and financially. Apart from physiological manifestations like anemia, discomfort, and exhaustion, CKD can also result in psychological problems like anxiety and depression, which can impair one's overall standard of life. Numerous studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of yoga and meditation on people with chronic renal disease, enhancing their general health and quality of life. Because of therapeutic limitations, familial pressures, financial restraints, and symptoms of end-stage kidney disease, people with CKD frequently experience stress and anxiety. By reducing stress and anxiety, yoga and meditation can help individuals with chronic conditions maintain their health and improve their overall well-being. Recent research has found that yoga can improve blood pressure, sympathetic activity, and basal metabolic rate as well as reduce blood pressure and blood sugar levels by balancing the autonomic nervous system. Furthermore, studies have demonstrated that yoga helps CKD patients live healthier lives by lowering stress, anxiety, and sadness. Healthcare professionals can help patients with chronic renal disease manage their symptoms and enhance their general health and well-being by adding yoga and meditation into their treatment regimens. Modifying lifestyle is essential for both the prevention and treatment of chronic renal disease. CKD often co-occurs with other age-related and sedentary lifestyles and poor diet-related chronic conditions. The dearth of targeted treatment for a large percentage of CKD patients led to the investigation of the therapeutic applications of yoga and meditation in this study. These affordable, non-invasive therapies provide a comprehensive approach to controlling CKD, benefiting both healthy individuals and those with CKD in terms of their physical and mental well-being.
