Objectives To compare the effects of aerobic and resistance training on sleep quality and Quality of Life (QoL) in older adults with sleep disturbance. Material and Methods An experimental study was conducted on 36 subjects with sleep disturbance of age ≥60 years. The subjects were assessed for sleep quality and quality of life by using Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and WHOQOL-BREF questionnaires. Those who scored PSQI>5 were included in the study and were divided into two groups A and B. Both the groups A and B received warm up and cool down with, aerobic training for group A and resistance training for group B, respectively. The training was given for 40-45 minutes a day, 4 days/week for 4 weeks. Base line and post treatment PSQI and WHOQOL-BREF scores were recorded. Results Repeated measure ANOVA with Post hoc analysis was done using SPSS software version 16.0. Analysis revealed significant improvement ( p <0.05) in PSQI scores within both groups but not between the groups. Post hoc analysis for sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency and sleep duration showed better improvement in resistance training group. Further QoL showed no significant difference between groups for all domains except for domain 3, i.e., social relationship which was found to be better in aerobic training group. Conclusion Resistance and aerobic training improves both quality of sleep and quality of life. But resistance training has better effect on sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency and sleep duration. As both the training has beneficial effects on sleep quality and quality of life. So, either form of training can be used according to the individuals’ functional and medical status to improve sleep quality.

Introduction: Sleep is an important component of lifestyle. It affects the quality of life and translates into the effectiveness of activities during the day. Poor quality sleep can lead to physical, psychological and social disorders. Sleep is considered a sociological, anthropological and cultural phenomenon. The aim of this study was to compare the sleep quality of students from different countries. Methods: The study was conducted among 532 Polish, Turkish, Hungarian and Greek students, between December 2016 and March 2017.A diagnostic survey and a questionnaire technique were used. The link to the online questionnaire was sent to students via the Internet, or made available as a printed copy. Student opinions were measured using a 5-point Likert scale. Results: The data showed that the majority of students sleep well, but have sleepless nights due to study and social life, when they wake up sleepless and early. In-depth analysis showed a statistical significance between the studied components of students' sleep and their country of origin: length and quality of sleep, falling asleep due to study and social life, feeling rested in the morning, and problems with waking up and falling back to sleep. Conclusions: Significant differences were found in the sleep patterns of students of different nationalities. Issues related to sleep and its problems should be discussed by organisations, as well as those responsible for constructing educational programmes and planning studies.
