Abstract
This study investigated the effects of a 12-week exercise program on sleep quality and brain functional connectivity in middle-aged and older adults with insomnia. The exercise group showed significantly improved self-reported sleep quality compared to the waitlist control group. Furthermore, the exercise group exhibited increased functional connectivity in the motor network, particularly with the cerebellum. Improvements in subjective sleep indices correlated significantly with changes in motor network connectivity. The results suggest that exercise intervention can improve sleep quality and promote functional plasticity in the aging brain.
