Scoping Review of Physical Activity Interventions for Insomnia

A scoping review synthesizing evidence from 32 randomized controlled trials on physical activity interventions for insomnia. The review was conducted by Xiaotu Zhang and published on figshare in 2026. It maps evidence to the Nursing Science Precision Health model to identify gaps in personalized care.

Use Cases

• Mapping evidence on physical activity interventions for insomnia based on the NSPH model domains.
• Identifying research gaps in symptom assessment and phenotypic characterization for insomnia.
• Analyzing the effects of aerobic, strength, flexibility, and multimodal exercise on sleep outcomes.
• Informing the design of future studies on biomarker integration in sleep intervention research.

Strengths

• Evidence is synthesized from 32 randomized controlled trials.
• Review follows JBI guidance and PRISMA-ScR standards, suggesting a structured methodology.
• The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• The dataset is a PDF document (139.4 KB), not a structured data file; column-level documentation is absent.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
• Freshness should be verified; last updated 2026-05-28.
