Sleep disturbances are common in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder. Exercise interventions a promising approach the treatment of sleep disorders, but little is known about efficacy exercise for associated A total 40 disorder were randomized to six sessions either high-intensity interval training or low-to-moderate-intensity training, administered within 12 days. quality was assessed over 24 days from baseline post Pittsburgh Quality Index, log, and waist-worn actigraphy. Analyses revealed that, regardless group allocation, Index score improved significantly by 2.28 points 1.70 (d = 0.56 training; 0.49 training) time, while there no significant changes any log actigraphy measure.
