Abstract
exercise on sleep quality and health - related physical fitness of the elderly. Samples were thirty-seven older women aged 60 to 75 years old. They were randomized into 2 groups: control group (n = 18) and experimental group (n = 19). The participants in the experimental group were asked to perform 50 minutes of Russie - Datton exercise for 3 days per weeks of 10 – week, whereas the control group had daily life activity. Sleep quality and health-related physical fitness were assessed on pre-test, mid - test (after 6 weeks) and post - test (after 10 weeks). Data were analyzed using mean independent t - test to determine different group, using a statistic significance level of p < 0.05. The findings showed that the experimental group had improved quality of sleep and health-related physical fitness in all variables more than the control group (p < 0.05). Therefore, it was concluded that the 10 - week Russie - Datton exercise could improve sleep quality as well as health - related physical fitness (muscular strength and flexibility).
