Background: The word calisthenics discussed is about a set of person’s own body weight exercises. Calisthenics is theoretically called “free exercises” as they are practice of rhythmic exercises without instruments. Calisthenics contributes to aerobic and muscular conditioning and improves psychomotor skills for instance coordination, agility and balance. Several studies specify that HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) increases oxygen absorption in healthy young adults through endurance training. Other benefits of practice contain decreasing resting blood pressure and cholesterol, improvement insulin sensitivity and a decrease in intra-abdominal fat. Current evidence suggests that short period of exercise is adequate enough to change the mood. Objective: To evaluate the effects of calisthenics training on mood and sleep amongst students who are attending online mode of education. Methodology: An experimental single-group study was conducted on 60 subjects between age group of 18-25 years based on inclusion criteria. College students included in study were from South Bangalore. Mood and sleep was assessed both pre and post calisthenics training. Eight weeks of calisthenics training was given to all subjects for enhancement in mood and sleep was evaluated using POMS, PSQI and SAA, respectively. The collected data was analyzed in SPSS software by using paired t-test. Results: The results were statistically significant as inferred from the data analysis for POMS, PSQI and SAA, except the vigor from POMS and deep sleep duration from SAA of subjects attending online mode of education undergoing calisthenics training. Conclusion: Study concluded that calisthenics training improves mood and sleep quality.
