- Yes: This study aims to investigate the effects of squash exercise intervention on sleep and mental health. The research will be conducted in two phases. First, we will conduct a cross-sectional survey to assess the baseline relationship between squash participation and sleep quality, as well as mental well-being. Following this, a randomized controlled trial will be implemented, starting with a one-time intervention to observe immediate effects of squash exercise on sleep and mental health. Subsequently, a 10-week intervention will be conducted, with three sessions per week, each lasting one hour, to explore the long-term impact of regular squash exercise on these outcomes. The goal is to provide insights into how squash as a form of physical activity can influence sleep patterns and mental health.
