| Research Abstract |
We previously reported that exercise training was effective in promoting the improvement of sleep-related problems. However, the mechanisms underlying this effect remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to clarify the effects of brief stretching exercises on physiological and psychological responses in relation to sleep. First, we examined changes in core temperature, stress, and mood states in response to acute exercise, as peripheral heat dissipation at bedtime after a rise in core temperature of less than 0.5・C has been reported to facilitate sleep onset. A suitable rise in core temperature was achieved after stretching, and stress response and mood also improved with stretching. Next, we examined the effect of stretching exercises on sleep in middle-aged women with mild sleep disorder. A decrease in stress response was observed during sleep. In conclusion, performance of brief stretching exercises may promote the improvement of sleep-related problems by creating beneficial physiological and psychological responses.
