Effects of Exercise Intervention on Sleep Quality and Emotional Problems in College Students With Depressive Symptoms
Effects of Exercise Intervention on Sleep Quality, Emotional Problems, and Neuroelectrophysiological Mechanisms in College Students With Depressive Symptoms
研究概览
详细说明
Depressive symptoms are highly prevalent among college students and are frequently accompanied by poor sleep quality, emotional disturbances, impaired executive function, and altered brain activity. Although physical exercise has been recognized as an effective non-pharmacological intervention for improving mental health, the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying these benefits remain unclear.
This study adopts an exploratory randomized controlled design consisting of two consecutive phases. In Phase I, participants will complete a single session of low-to-moderate intensity exercise to investigate immediate changes in emotional state, executive function, resting-state EEG, brain functional connectivity, and event-related potentials (ERP). In Phase II, the same participants will continue to participate in an 8-week exercise intervention to examine the effects of regular exercise on sleep quality, depressive symptoms, emotional problems, executive function, and neurophysiological characteristics.
Behavioral assessments, standardized psychological questionnaires, resting-state EEG, brain functional connectivity analysis, and ERP recordings will be performed before and after intervention. The study will also investigate whether the immediate response to acute exercise is associated with subsequent improvements following long-term exercise intervention, providing evidence for individualized exercise prescriptions and neurophysiological mechanisms of exercise in college students with depressive symptoms.

实验性的：Archery Exercise Group
Participants assigned to this group will first complete one supervised session of low-to-moderate intensity archery exercise and will subsequently participate in an 8-week regular archery exercise program.
The acute exercise session consists of a 5-minute warm-up, 20 minutes of archery exercise, and a 5-minute cool-down.
The 8-week intervention will be conducted three times per week, with at least 48 hours between sessions.
Exercise intensity will be maintained at 50%-75% of age-predicted maximum heart rate and monitored using heart rate and ratings of perceived exertion.
Psychological questionnaires, behavioral tasks, resting-state EEG, and task-related ERP assessments will be completed before and after the acute session and before and after the 8-week intervention.
|
Participants perform a standardized archery exercise program consisting of an acute exercise session followed by an 8-week supervised training program.
The acute session includes a 5-minute warm-up, 20 minutes of archery exercise, and a 5-minute cool-down.
The long-term intervention is conducted three times per week for 8 weeks at moderate exercise intensity.

有源比较器：Control Group
Participants assigned to this group will complete an equal-duration seated rest or non-exercise control activity during the acute experiment.
During the subsequent 8-week period, participants will maintain their usual lifestyle and attend the laboratory three times per week at the same scheduled times as the exercise group to complete 30 minutes of seated rest or another non-exercise control activity.
Psychological questionnaires, behavioral tasks, resting-state EEG, and task-related ERP assessments will be completed at the same assessment time points as those in the archery exercise group.
|
Participants continue their usual daily activities without participating in the archery exercise intervention.
