Abstract

Background & Purpose: Regarding the widespread use of effective and safe training methods to improve physical and mental fitness in the elderly, resistance training with Theraband may be a safe and effective method for aged people. In addition, exercise training can affect the quality of sleep and inflammatory factors such as interleukin1 (IL-1β) thereby improve the immune system and quality of sleep. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Theraband resistance training on IL-1β and sleep quality and the relationship between sleep quality and IL-1β in elderly women.
Methodology: Nineteen healthy elderly women with average age of 77.78 ± 8.50 years were according study criteria selected and randomly assigned to either control ( n=9) and training ( n=10) groups. Training program consists of 8 weeks of resistance training with Theraband (for 45 minute whit 3 sessions per week). Blood samples were collected in fasting state from the venous vein. The level of IL-1β was measured by ELISA and sleep quality was measured by Pittsburgh questionnaire. Data were analyzed by Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) test and Pearson correlation coefficient (P≤0.05).
Results: The serum level of IL-1β significantly decreased after of 8 week of training (P =0.04) also, we observed the significant improvement in quality of sleep by Theraband (P = 0.001).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, resistance training with Theraband seems to be effective in improving sleep quality and IL-1β, so can be used as an effective intervention method for improving sleep quality in elderly people.
