Population Reference Bureau predicts an increase in the Indian elderly population from 8% in 2010 to 19 % in 2050. This study is conducted to determine the effect of calisthenics on sleep quality among institutionalized elderly. Research approach was quantitative-evaluative approach and adopted quasi experimental pre-test post-test control group design. The samples included were 29 in experimental and control group selected from 2 old age homes of Udupi and South Canara Districts of Karnataka. 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). RMANOVA for sleep quality scores was statistically significant in the experimental group (F ratio: 61.967, p<0.05).The study concluded that calisthenics was effective in improving sleep quality among institutionalised elderly.
