However, the degree to which exercise provides sleep benefits for adults with psychiatric disorders is less known, despite the potential benefits given that sleep disturbance is prevalent in these populations. In this narrative review, we synthesize results of randomized controlled trials examining the influence of aerobic and/or resistance exercise interventions on sleep outcomes in adult psychiatric populations. We specifically focus on populations with elevated symptoms or diagnoses of depression, anxiety, or posttraumatic stress disorder. A systematic search through June 2024 yielded 26 relevant trials. Overall, most trials reported improvement of subjective sleep quality after aerobic and/or resistance exercise programs in samples with depression. Similar effects were observed for posttraumatic stress; however, larger trials are needed. Further research is needed to examine the impact of exercise on sleep in anxiety populations as only one trial with mixed results was identified. Results were more equivocal for the subpopulation of adult women with perinatal or postpartum depression, demonstrating the importance of understanding exercise effects on sleep in specific subpopulations. Few studies examined objective sleep outcomes, impact of acute exercise on next day sleep, or the interplay between exercise, sleep, and psychiatric symptom changes, all important areas of future research. Other implications and future directions are discussed, including potential moderators and mechanisms of action that warrant further study to better understand how exercise interventions may optimally target sleep in psychiatric populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":48329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"4-21"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142548363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is a 10-year update of the Godfrey, Gallo, & Afari (2015) systematic review and meta-analysis of MBIs for binge eating. PubMED, PsycINFO, and Web of Science were searched using keywords including binge eating, overeating, objective bulimic episodes, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, meditation, and mindful eating. Results indicate there has been a large increase in the number of studies testing MBIs for binge eating in the past 10 years with 54 studies meeting inclusion criteria, compared to 19 ten years ago. The majority of the studies yielded large and medium effect sizes. The random effects meta-analysis of between-group effect sizes yielded medium-large effects for MBIs versus non-psychological intervention controls at post-treatment (mean Hedge's g = - 0.65) and follow-up (mean Hedge's g = - 0.71), and negligible effects for MBIs versus active psychological controls at post-treatment (mean Hedge's g = - 0.05) and follow-up (mean Hedge's g = 0.13). Of all MBIs, DBT had the most studies with large effects. More studies examined MBIs that directly targeted binge eating had larger effects than studies with MBIs targeting other health outcomes (with binge eating as a secondary outcome).

This was a secondary analysis of 724 person-level days of accelerometry data from 133 urban-dwelling adults (89% Latinx, age = 19-77 years). We used Actigraph accelerometers and the Actilife software to collect and process 24-hour PA data. We implemented a probabilistic clustering technique based on functional mixture models. Multiple days of data per person were averaged for entry into the models. We evaluated step counts, moderate-intensity PA (MOD), total activity and sedentary minutes as potential model variables. Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) index was used to select the model that provided the best fit for the data. A 4-cluster resolution provided the best fit for the data (i.e., BIC=-3257, improvements of Δ = 13 and Δ = 7 from 3- and 5-cluster models, respectively). MOD provided the greatest between-cluster discrimination. Phenotype 1 (N = 61) was characterized by a morning peak in PA that declined until bedtime. Later bedtimes and the highest daily PA volume were distinct for phenotype 2 (N = 18), along with a similar peak pattern. Phenotype 3 (N = 29) membership was associated with the lowest PA levels throughout the day. Phenotype 4 was characterized by a more evenly distributed PA during the day, and later waking/bedtimes.

Health consequences are significant for those unable to adhere to the complex treatment regimen, which includes regular oral medication and/or insulin use, frequent blood sugar checks, strict dietary management, and regular physical activity. Mobile applications (apps) present a tremendous opportunity to help patients improve adherence to these behaviors. The availability of commercial diabetes self-management apps is increasing exponentially, making it difficult for patients and providers to stay informed about app options and benefits. Previous reviews have described commercial diabetes apps and their features and usability for patients with diabetes. A smaller number have reviewed the effectiveness of these apps in improving blood glucose as well as other aspects of diabetes management. The aim of this article is to update our 2016 review, summarize the results of new reviews, review outcomes of diabetes apps described in the literature, and offer recommendations for app features, effectiveness research, and marketing in apps for diabetes self-management. Although higher-quality research is needed, current reviews suggest that many diabetes apps are effective in lowering HbA1c. Recommendations for future research include reporting critical details such as patient demographics and intervention elements and designing studies to identify the most effective components of diabetes management apps. Furthermore, clearly labeling apps that have data supporting clinical efficacy in app stores would allow both providers and patients to easily identify apps that might be most beneficial.

Habit formation can be efficacious in promoting health behavior maintenance, including for highly complex behaviors such as physical activity. Changes in circumstances (e.g., job transitions, moving home) or the advent of disruptive events (e.g., work-related or personal responsibilities) can lead to habit discontinuity by eliminating the contextual contingencies associated with the behavior. Recently, habit theorists have distinguished between preparation or instigation and execution habits, with preparation or instigation habits proposed as central to the development and maintenance of complex habitual behaviors. Discontinuity for complex habitual behaviors may entail disruption of preparation, instigation, or execution habits making such behaviors highly vulnerable to disruption and discontinuity. We propose that the advent of events such as increased work demands or personal responsibilities (e.g., job demands or personal circumstances such as caregiving) and competing highly rewarding activities (e.g., technology-mediated screen activities such as using smartphone apps and games) have high potential to disrupt preparation and instigation habits for complex behaviors. We outline the mechanisms involved and propose several strategies that may be employed to minimize disruption and discontinuity of complex habitual behaviors using physical activity as an illustration. We identify reaffirming original goals, self-monitoring, and planning strategies as potentially efficacious means to minimize the potential for events and competing activities to disrupt physical activity preparation and instigation habits.
