“…Participants in the intervention group received the HBA regimen for 6 months; participants in the control group maintained their usual daily activities in the community care centers, such as chorus singing, chess playing, and health promotion exercises. Based on our previous study protocol (Chan & Chen, 2017), data were collected 3 times: before the intervention (pretest), 3 months (Posttest 1), and 6 months (Posttest 2) after intervention began. Participants received a small gift equal to US$4 after completing each test.…”

This study was aimed to test the effects of a meridian cuffing exercise, the Healthy Beat Acupunch (HBA) regimen, on the functional fitness and cardiopulmonary functioning of community older adults. A single-blind, cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted. We randomly allocated eight community care centers to the intervention or control group and recruited 228 participants who completed the study (intervention: four centers, n = 111; control: four centers, n = 117). The intervention group underwent a 40-min session of HBA regimen 3 times per week for 6 months. Functional fitness and cardiopulmonary functioning were assessed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months of the intervention. The intervention group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in functional fitness and cardiopulmonary functioning than the control group between baseline and either 3 months or 6 months. We suggest that activities designed to promote health among community older adults include acupunch exercises.

“…Daytime dysfunction, reported in seven studies, significantly improved in two RCT's [72,75] and in one pretest-posttest study [73] (43%). Sleep duration, measured in seven studies, significantly improved in three out of seven studies (43%); one RCT [75] and two pretest-posttest studies [73,80].…”

“…There was a significant improvement in sleep latency in five out of ten studies (50%) that measured this component of sleep; three RCT's [72,75,81] and two pretest-posttest studies [68,80]. Sleep disturbances were measured in eight studies and significantly reduced in one RCT [72] and three pretest-posttest studies [70,71,73] (50%).…”

“…Twelve out of the fourteen included studies used subjective measures, of which eleven [70][71][72][73][74][75][76][78][79][80][81] used the PSQI. The PSQI is a frequently used validated 19item questionnaire, consisting of seven subscales (sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction) to assess quality of sleep over 1 month.…”

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.
