About this study

Official title: The Effects of a Session of Resistance Training on Sleep Patterns in the Elderly

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of a session of resistance training on the sleep patterns of elderly people.

Methods: Forty men aged 65 to 80 years, sedentary and clinically healthy were divided into two groups: the control group (n=18) and the resistance group (n=22). Both groups underwent two polysomnography tests, one at baseline and another after either a resistance training session (One Repetition Maximum - Strength Test, resistance group) or without physical exercise (control group).

Read the detailed description

Upon completion of the baseline polysomnography (PSG), volunteers underwent body composition evaluations (total body mass, height and body mass index calculation) to characterize the sample. Three familiarization sessions were conducted with the exercise machines used in the study, and one repetition maximum test (1 RM) was completed in order to quantify the training session load. A PSG test was conducted on the same day of the exercise session for the resistance group, and the control group had a second PSG without exercise to compare the groups at both times.

The body composition assessment, the adaptations to the exercises and the training sessions were held at the Center for Psychobiology and Exercise Studies.

  • Physical exerciseBehavioural

    Also called Resistance Training, Sleep Patterns

    After the adaptation sessions, volunteers underwent a session of resistance training at 60% of 1 RM organized as follows: 3 sets of 10 to 12 repetitions on each exercise machine with a 1 minute and 30 second interval between each set and an interval of 2 minutes between each exercise machine, giving a total duration of training between 50 and 60 minutes. The sequence of exercise machines used was alternated by body segment. The sessions were performed at the same time of day (morning) under controlled temperature conditions (24 ± 21C).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Physical exercise in people with SLEEP DISTURBANCES Nec in ICD9CM, run by Federal University of São Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sleep pattern measures in Polysomnography (time frame: The session of resistance training was performance about 16 hours before the polysomnographic). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01404286, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
