Outline of Research at the Start

The Japanese Orthopedic Association recommends physical exercise to prevent and/or improve Locomotive syndrome (LS). Nutritional counseling with physical exercise is also recommended. Although a previous study also reported that the positive effect of sleep management optimized sleep quality and quantity on physical function, the effect of sleep management combined with physical exercise for LS has yet to be investigated. Therefore, the current study aims to compare sleep management combined with physical exercise to nutrition intervention with physical exercise on LS in older adults.
