- Study investigates the synergistic effects of high-intensity circuit training (HICT) and sleep health (SH) interventions on sleep and cardiometabolic health.
- Participants were sedentary Chinese women aged 18-30 with poor sleep health (PSQI score >5).
- Interventions included HICT (3 sessions/week) and SH (individualized counseling and digital CBT for insomnia).
- Combined HICT-SH group showed greater improvements in sleep efficiency, reduced wake after sleep onset, and lower activity counts during sleep compared to individual interventions.
- All intervention groups improved sleep outcomes compared to the control group.
- Findings suggest combined HICT and SH interventions may be more effective for sleep disorders and cardiometabolic health.
