The effects of a real-life lifestyle program on physical activity and objective and subjective sleep in adults aged 55+ years.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

Age related changes in sleep result in an increasing prevalence of poor sleep in mid-aged and older adults. Although physical activity has shown to benefit sleep in studies in controlled settings, this has not yet been examined in a real-life lifestyle program. The aims of this study were to: 1) examine the effects of a lifestyle program on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and objective and subjective sleep in adults aged 55+ years; and 2) examine if the effects differed between good and poor sleepers.

Methods

This controlled pretest-posttest trial examined the effects of the 12-week group-based real-life lifestyle program 'Lekker Actief' on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (measured using accelerometers) and sleep (measured using accelerometers
