If evening 3-minute resistance exercise breaks enhance sleep quantity and quality compared to prolonged sitting.
By Vijay Kumar MalesuReviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLMJul 17 2024 In a recent study published in the BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine , researchers assessed if evening 3-minute resistance exercise breaks enhance sleep quantity and quality compared to prolonged sitting.
The effect of regular evening activity breaks on sleep remains unclear. Further research is needed to explore the long-term impact of evening activity breaks on sleep quality and overall cardiometabolic health. Standardized meals were provided before 14:00 hours on each experimental day, and participants followed pre-intervention protocols to avoid intense physical activity. Data were analyzed using mixed-effects regression models to compare sleep and activity outcomes between conditions.
Total sleep time was also significantly longer by 27.7 minutes following the activity breaks compared to prolonged sitting .
