Improvements in Chronic Primary Insomnia after Exercise Training Are Correlated with Changes in Metabolic and Hormonal Profile

Table 1

Anthropometric and training characteristics in patients with chronic primary insomnia after 8, 16, and 24 wk of exercise training.

Variables	Baseline	After 8 wk	After 16 wk	After 24 wk	𝑃
Age	45.5 ± 8.39	—	—	—	—
BMI (Kg/m²)	24.80 ± 4.70	24.88 ± 4.46	24.68 ± 4.39	24.53 ± 4.56	NS
% Fat	31.31 ± 9.91	32.29 ± 8.00	32.3 ± 8.07	32.77 ± 8.55	NS
VO2peak (mL/kg/min)	27.82 ± 5.17	29.17 ± 5.23	30.32 ± 5.38	31.14 ± 6.73	NS
VO2peak (L/min)	1747.00 ± 461.20	1825.00 ± 436.50	1901.00 ± 469.10	1927.00 ± 436.30	NS

One-way ANOVA, significant results with 𝑃≤0.05; data are expressed as the mean ± SD. VO_2peak: peak oxygen consumption; VT₁ : first ventilatory threshold.
