Description
Jia Guo and co-authors rank exercise styles by how well they rescue sleep in sedentary adults with insomnia. Thirty-one randomized trials and over fourteen hundred participants feed their 2026 network meta-analysis. Aerobic work, weights, interval sprints, and mind-body practice all enter the comparison.
Exercise improved sleep scores substantially across the board. The largest gains clustered in adults aged forty-five to fifty-nine and in programs running up to sixteen weeks. Different measures, from falling-asleep time to total sleep, moved unevenly by modality. The authors present the ranking as a menu for prescribing movement instead of pills, matched to patient age and routine.
