Impact Of Cardiovascular Exercises On Sleep Quality In Sedentary Individuals

Lack of sleep is still a crucial problem for many sedentary persons in terms of keeping good health. This study examines the influence of cardiovascular exercise on the quality of sleep-in sedentary individuals and emphasizes the benefits of non-pharmacological sleep aids. Thirty individuals total were enrolled in the study and split into two groups: the experimental group (n = 15) exercised for eight weeks, while the control group (n = 15) continued to lead sedentary lives. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was utilised by the researcher to assess participants' sleep quality both prior to and following the intervention. The mean PSQI scores for the intervention group decreased from 14.07 to 8.07 (p<0.001), indicating a significant improvement in sleep quality. The control group, on the other hand, did not display any prominent changes (p=0.104). In addition, the post-intervention analysis declared that the experimental group had significantly better sleep quality than the control group (p<0.001). These results [1]established the effectiveness of planned cardiovascular exercise programs as a non-pharmacological treatment to improve sleep quality in this population and indulge strong evidence for the positive effects of regular cardiovascular exercise on sleep quality in sedentary people
