Improve your sleep with this specific exercise, new study says
Fox News
One specific type of exercise has been linked to insomnia prevention in older adults, according to a new study. Researchers compared the sleep benefits of weights, cardio, balance and flexibility.
Researchers analyzed data from 25 randomized trials that measured the effects of physical exercise on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), which is a questionnaire that assesses respondents’ sleep quality over a one-month period. "Exercise that strengthens muscles, rather than aerobic or combination exercises, is the most effective way to enhance sleep quality." "Resistance training improves insomnia because it helps regulate the circadian rhythm." Melissa Rudy is senior health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
