Calisthenics was provided for the experimental group for 30 days under supervision and 15 days without supervision. Sleep quality was assessed before intervention and 5th, 30th and 45th day of intervention and control group did not receive any intervention. Majority of subjects had poor sleep quality (100% in experimental and 81.8% in control group).
