Sleep Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Walking Exercise on Sleep Quality in Sedentary Healthy Adults
The primary goal of this study is to examine the effect of one-hour walking exercise on sleep quality in adults. The second goal of this study is to explore a feasible exercise method to promote sleep quality to all age groups, in order to improve sleep quality in overall population. The study attempts to unfold how the daily exercise, such as walking, benefits sleep quality. This study hypothesis that one-hour walking improves sleep quality in general population.
In order to test the hypothesis that walking exercise improves sleep quality in general
population, the investigators conducted a randomized (case-control) cross-over trial. The
targeted population is the physically and mentally healthy adults (18+). The health status
was self-reported, the investigators did not organize physical and mental examination for
participants in this study. The investigators recruited participants both online and
off-line. The call-for-participants advertisement distributed in social media platforms such
as Facebook, WeChat etc.
There were two groups in this study: walking group, and control group. The
call-for-participants advertisement was distributed through online platforms and by posters.
In the advertisement, all people were welcomed to participate, after receiving the
applications, the investigators assessed the participant. In order to test the hypothesis
that walking exercise improve sleep quality in general population, the investigators
conducted a randomized (case-control) cross-over trial.
Participants can only be accepted after approval from the research team who performed the
group discussion and evaluation of the sedentary behavior. If the participants meet the
sedentary criteria, the participants would be informed the consent and terms and conditions
to participate the study. Participants were randimzed into two groups by lottery
(intervention and control group). The first phase intervention lasted for four weeks. At the
beginning and at end of the intervention, the investigators assessed the sleep quality of
participants by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and
Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). The second phase was a wash period (4-week) and the
third phase was a 4-week intervention. It has to be noted that at the beginning of the third
phase, the participants in the two groups exchanged their role to receive active
interventions. Participants in each group were coded by an autonomous number with characters.
Walking exercise was self-controlled and tracked by daily dairy and pedometers. All of the
participants are obligated to record the start and end time of walking every day. And
pedometers (mode: Omron HJ-112) were used for tracking walking steps including heart rate,
calories and miles. For the ones who were in the control group, they had to keep sedentary
lifestyle.
The participants had the responsibility to carry out the walking practice every day in the
first and third phase. Every participant was counselled and gave their written informed
consent before entering into the trial. The participation of this project was voluntary,
unpaid. During the trial, all participants were free to quit the project with reasonable
reasons, the investigators will not force anyone to continue the project if they cannot
insist on. The investigators would inform the results of the first phase if the participant
requests.
