Effects of Exercise on Sleep Patterns

We can all exercise a little easier knowing this bit of information!

There's good news for sedentary individuals who have good sleep but don't exercise.

According to the obtained data, acute physical exercise, regardless of type - whether resistance training, aerobic or interval - did not influence the related sleep parameters of the inactive person who normally sleeps well.

This research indicates that sedentary people can start a program of moderate physical exercise without impairing their sleep.

Acute Effects of Different Types of Physical Exercise on Sleep Patterns by MV Rossi, S. Tufik, SE Ferreira, RG Koyama, L. Bailoni-Neto, DA Cavagnolli, AP Faria, MT De Mello was presented at Sleep 2007, the 21st annual meeting of the Association Professional Sleep Professionals Societies, LLC.
