Older adults who practiced moving meditation exercises for six weeks showed lower depression scores and better sleep quality compared to a control group. The average depression level, subjective sleep quality, sleep disorder, and overall sleep quality significantly improved over time in the exercise group. Moving meditation exercise may reduce depression and improve sleep in elderly individuals, suggesting it could serve as a supportive method alongside traditional treatments.
