Study aim
-
Evaluation of the effect of high-intensity periodic exercise and sleep regulation and combination on glucose homeostasis, growth hormone levels, cortisol, lactate, sleep quality and aerobic power during the reaction time of adolescent girls with sleep disorders.
-
Design
-
A randomized, one-blinded, controlled, semi-experimental with a parallel-group design of 80 adolescent females with sleep disorders. A lottery will be used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This research is an applied quasi-experimental study and includes pre-test and post-test with 4 experimental groups in which the effect of independent variables of high-intensity interval training and sleep regulation and a combination of the two on Glucose homeostasis, growth hormone, cortisol, and lactate levels, sleep quality, aerobic capacity, and reaction time in girls 13 to 17 years with sleep disorders will be assessed. The site of the intervention and sports evaluations will be in the club and blood tests will be performed in a specialized laboratory. Collaborative researchers will be blind to pre-test and post-test evaluations and the statistical expert will be blind to how individuals are assigned to the groups.
