Exercise training improves sleep pattern and metabolic profile in elderly people in a time-dependent manner

Abstract: Aging and physical inactivity are two factors that favors the development of cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, obesity, diabetes, and sleep dysfunction. In contrast, the adoption a habitual of moderate exercise may present a non-pharmacological treatment alternative for sleep and metabolic disorders. We aimed to assess the effects of moderate exercise training on sleep quality and on the metabolic profile of elderly people with a sedentary lifestyle. Fourteen male sedentary, healthy, elderly voluntee… Show more

“…The magnitude of improvement is similar to that reported by Niederseer et al [25] and Lira et al [39] who both report ~7% improvements in relative V O in cohorts of older adults following 12 weeks of alpine skiing and moderate treadmill running respectively. This increase, although modest, would still represent a significant reduction in mortality risk [30] as it approximates 0.6 METs in older males [40].…”

“…Similarly, the ~2% decrease in body fat percentage observed in SED is in line with a previous investigation [25] which reported a of 2.3% reduction following 12 weeks of alpine skiing. SED body mass decreased 1.3% in the present investigation whereas previous investigations have reported a 1.6% decrease following 18 months of combined aerobic and resistance training [41] and no change following 12 weeks of alpine skiing and moderate treadmill running [25,39]. The relatively high body mass loss compared to the previous longer duration study may be attributed to the incorporation of resistance exercise into their exercise training [41], known to cause muscular hypertrophy and therefore attenuate total body mass losses [42].…”

“…Regular cardiovascular exercise is shown to improve sleep patterns in aging individuals, and may contribute to overall sleep improvements in caregivers as well. 54 Future research might consider the mediating and moderating relationships of insufficient sleep, physical distress, CHD, and obesity as seen in caregivers of persons with SCI.…”

“…Furthermore, physical activity has been shown to influence sleep characteristics; a 6 month moderate aerobic training protocol increased the percentage SWS and decreased percentage REM sleep. 60 Taken together, this implies a vice versa effect between EB and the amount of SWS and REM sleep, which appears as a vicious cycle differencing between subjects. A recent study by Mokhlesi et al 61 shows that overweight and obese subjects have less SWS compared with lean subjects, however, two smaller studies in obese subjects did not observe altered sleep characteristics.…”
