Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review and meta-analysis examined 22 randomized controlled trials to assess how different types of regular exercise (like walking, cycling, or yoga) for at least 2 months can improve sleep quality in adults, both through self-reported measures (like PSQI, ISI, and ESS) and physiological measures using Actigraph devices.
  • Results showed that exercise significantly enhanced sleep quality, with improvements observed across various scales, suggesting that both physical and mindbody exercises are effective, even for short-term interventions.
  • The study followed strict research guidelines (PRISMA) and found that regular exercise can be a valuable non-pharmacological approach to improving sleep and reducing insomnia symptoms in adults.]
