TL;DR
The results indicated that the type of exercise may be related to the effect on sleep latency, and supported a restorative theory of slow-wave sleep.
Abstract
ABSTRACT This study was designed to assess the effect of individually calibrated sustained, static exercise on sleep. Normal subjects engaged in 80 min of static muscular activity at 40% of maximal levels. The exercise ended 2 hrs before bedtime. Standard polysomnographic measures were recorded during sleep. The time to sleep onset was significantly reduced relative to nonexercise nights. Other significant comparisons (increased slow‐wave sleep and decreased movement time after exercise) were confined to the period preceding the first REM episode. The results indicated that the type of exercise may be related to the effect on sleep latency. The data supported a restorative theory of slow‐wave sleep.

Visual stage-of-sleep analysis of the sleep EEGs of 10 college athletes under three different conditions of exercise suggests a general positive relationship between exercise and the amount of slow-wave (delta) sleep in a night's sleep.

No significant relationships between physiological levels and sleep-onset time were found, which suggests that muscle relaxation alone was not responsible for subjects' improvements, and the practical utility of the methods is questioned.

The results support Bulow's (1963) proposal that a close coupling exists between respiratory centers and those neural structures that regulate EEG arousal and indicate a surprising stability of the sleep stage cycle vis a vis the markedly different evening activities.

It was hypothesized that the discrepancy in the literature was due to the varying physical fitness levels of subjects used in these studies, and the hypothesis was tested, using human subjects, by varying amount of exercise and level of fitness in a 2x2 design.
