Lack of perceived sleep improvement after 4-month structured exercise programs.

Steriani S Elavsky and Edward E McAuley

Menopause 14(3 Pt 1):535-40 (2007) PMID 17224851

Many middle-aged women experience decreases in their sleep quality during the menopausal transition. Physical activity has been shown to improve sleep, but few randomized, controlled trials investigating such effects in this population exist. In 164 previously low-active middle-aged women (mean age = 49.9, SD = 3.6), using a 4-month randomized, controlled trial, we examined structured exercise in the form of walking or yoga to determine the effects on perceived sleep quality.
