Introduction: This is a study to assess the effect of selected calisthenics on the quality of sleep and well-being among old-age individuals in the selected old-age home at Sangli, Miraj, Kupwad Corporation area. The objective is to assess the quality of sleep and well-being in the experimental and control groups before the intervention and the level of sleep and well-being in the experimental and control groups after the intervention. Methodology: The study used a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design. Using a simple random sampling technique, 60 participants were selected. Calisthenics exercises were implemented to improve sleep quality and well-being. On the eighth day after the calisthenics program, a post-test was conducted. The analysis was performed using frequency and percentage distribution and a paired t-test.
Results: Post-intervention, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score and quality of sleep among old-age individuals in the experimental group were 12 (40%) had poor sleep and 18 (60%) had a good quality of sleep among old-age people. The mean was 4.26, S.D. was 1.7207, and in the control group, the mean was 8.23, S.D. was 2.4166, and the t-value was 7.3234. P-value was 0.00001 < 0.05 (at 5% level of significance). The well-being score among old-age individuals in the experimental group after the intervention was that there were three (10%) who had very good well-being, 24 (80%) had good well-being scores, and three (10%) had poor well-being among elderly people. The mean was 129, S.D. was 13.3209, and in the control group, the mean was 110.3, S.D. was 8.065, the t-value was -6.5773, and the p-value was 0.00001 < 0.05 (at a 5% level of significance). This reveals that the effect of calisthenics on the quality of sleep and well-being among old age individuals was effective.
Conclusion: The study concluded that planned calisthenics exercises were implemented to enhance sleep quality and well-being. Elderly individuals responded positively to the program, showing improvements in both sleep quality and well-being after participating in the exercises.
