Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to explore whether increasing physical activity can improve sleep quality in older adults, particularly those with poor sleep, and whether such improvements positively influence cognitive functions such as memory and attention. The goal is to provide a practical intervention strategy to enhance both sleep quality and cognitive function, contributing to healthy aging.
