Exercise has been reported to improve insomnia and reduce sleep latency and hypnosis medications. Current research indicates that the effects of exercise on sleep quality and insomnia are controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the effect of exercise on sleep quality in adult women. Method: Literature was searched up to 15 October 2023 in 7 databases (CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, CBM, PubMed, The Cochrane library, Embase) for RCTs assessing the effects of exercise and non-exercise control conditions on sleep quality, sleep disorders and/or insomnia in adult women. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used as the outcome indicator. Meta-analyses were conducted using random effects models. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software after screening, data extraction, quality assessment and risk assessment of the included literature. Effects on outcomes were expressed as standardized mean differences (SMD) and their 95% confidence interval (CI). Result: A total of 16 papers were included for meta-analysis. The results of the meta-analysis showed that exercise significantly improved sleep quality (SMD = -0.42, 95% CI...
