Chronic primary insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder that is associated with adverse effects on health outcomes. Exercise is often considered a non-pharmacological approach that could have beneficial effects on sleep.
The aim of the study was to compare the impact of aerobic and resistance exercise training on quality of sleep and inflammatory markers among subjects with chronic primary insomnia.
Sixty previously sedentary subjects with chronic primary insomnia subjects enrolled in this study, their age ranged from 31-52 years. All participants were randomly assigned to aerobic exercise intervention group (group A, n=35) or resistance exercise intervention group (group B, n=35). Polysomnographic recordings for sleep quality assessment, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α were measured before and at the end of the study after six months.
There was a significant increase in the total sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency and IL-10 in group(A) and group (B) in addition to significant reduction in awake time after sleep onset, REM latency, IL-6 and TNF-α after 6 months of aerbic and resistance exercise training. However, there were significant differences between both groups at the end of the study.
Aerobic exercise training is more appropriately than resistance exercise training in modulation of inflammatory and sleep quality among subjects with chronic primary insomnia.
慢性原发性失眠是一种普遍存在的睡眠障碍，与健康结果的不良影响有关。运动通常被认为是一种非药物干预方法，可能对睡眠有有益的影响。
本研究旨在比较有氧运动和抗阻运动训练对慢性原发性失眠患者睡眠质量和炎症标志物的影响。
本研究纳入了 60 名先前久坐不动的慢性原发性失眠患者，年龄在 31-52 岁之间。所有参与者均随机分为有氧运动干预组（A 组，n=35）或抗阻运动干预组（B 组，n=35）。在研究开始前和 6 个月后（即研究结束时），使用多导睡眠图记录睡眠质量评估、IL-6、IL-10 和 TNF-α。
A 组和 B 组在总睡眠时间、睡眠效率、入睡潜伏期和 IL-10 方面均有显著增加，而在入睡后觉醒时间、REM 潜伏期、IL-6 和 TNF-α方面则有显著减少。然而，在研究结束时，两组之间存在显著差异。
与抗阻运动训练相比，有氧运动训练更能调节慢性原发性失眠患者的炎症和睡眠质量。
