Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Professional athletes navigate a multitude of unique challenges associated to sport-specific factors (e.g., training, travel and competition) and non-sport factors (e.g., performance pressure, stress and anxiety) that can interfere with healthy sleep behaviors. Sleep plays a key role in proper biopsychosocial development as well as short- and long-term biological, physical, psychological, and cognitive health. As poor sleep quality is known to impair proper brain function, this study aimed to investigate the effect of sleep quality on a professional athlete\'s ability to train, recover, and perform, as well as their overall emotional and physical well-being.
UNASSIGNED: A cohort study was performed in 40 professional male cricket athletes from the Dutch national cricket team (mean age 26.5 ± 5.1 years). The athletes were monitored across a 22 weeks in-season training period. Sleep quality and overall emotional and physical well-being were assessed using daily sleep diaries and questionnaires which scored the readiness to train, stress levels, fatigue, muscle soreness and flu symptoms respectively. Quality of sleep and subsequent association with the consecutive elements of the well-being questionnaire were assessed through statistical using the student t-test and clinical differences with the methodology of Osoba and colleagues: <5% \"no change\", 5%-10% \"little change\"; 10%-20% \"moderate change\"; and >20% \"very much change\".
UNASSIGNED: The results demonstrated that the professional athletes assessed their sleep quality as average with a mean score of 3.4 out of 5. Lower perceived quality of sleep (<75th percentile) was correlated with a decreased readiness to train (mean score 3.2 [IQR: 3.0-4.0] vs. 3.5 [IQR: 3.0-5.0]; P < 0.001) and increased extent of muscle soreness (2.7 [IQR: 2.0-3.0] vs. 2.3 [IQR: 2-3]; P < 0.001), stress level (mean score 2.3 [IQR: 2.0-3.0] vs. 1.9 [IQR: 1.0-2.0]; P < 0.001) and perceived fatigue (mean score 2.9 [IQR: 2.0-3.0] vs. 2.3 [IQR: 2.0-3.0]; P < 0.001). Likewise, in patients with lower perceived quality of sleep, the proportion of players presenting with flu symptoms increased over 4-fold (4.1% vs. 17%; P < 0.001).
UNASSIGNED: This study highlights that good sleep quality positively influences the overall emotional and physical well-being of professional athletes. Our results emphasize the importance of targeted sleep interventions to improve sleep quality and subsequently optimize psychological and physiological wellness.
摘要:
专业运动员应对与运动特定因素相关的众多独特挑战(例如,培训,旅行和比赛)和非体育因素(例如,性能压力,压力和焦虑)会干扰健康的睡眠行为。睡眠在适当的生物心理社会发展以及短期和长期的生物,物理,心理,和认知健康。众所周知,睡眠质量差会损害正常的大脑功能,本研究旨在探讨睡眠质量对职业运动员训练能力的影响,恢复,并执行,以及他们的整体情绪和身体健康。
对来自荷兰国家板球队的40名职业男子板球运动员(平均年龄26.5±5.1岁)进行了一项队列研究。在22周的赛季训练期间对运动员进行了监测。使用每日睡眠日记和问卷调查评估睡眠质量以及整体情绪和身体健康,并对训练的准备情况进行评分。应力水平,疲劳,肌肉酸痛和流感症状。睡眠质量以及随后与幸福感问卷连续要素的关联通过统计学使用学生t检验和Osoba及其同事的方法的临床差异进行评估:<5%“无变化”,5%-10%“变化不大”;10%-20%“变化适度”;>20%“变化非常大”。
结果表明,职业运动员的睡眠质量评估为平均水平,平均得分为5分的3.4分。感知到的睡眠质量较低(<第75百分位数)与训练准备下降相关(平均得分3.2[IQR:3.0-4.0]vs.3.5[IQR:3.0-5.0];P<0.001)和肌肉酸痛程度增加(2.7[IQR:2.0-3.0]vs.2.3[IQR:2-3];P<0.001),压力水平(平均评分2.3[IQR:2.0-3.0]vs.1.9[IQR:1.0-2.0];P<0.001)和感知疲劳(平均得分2.9[IQR:2.0-3.0]vs.2.3[IQR:2.0-3.0];P<0.001)。同样,在感知睡眠质量较低的患者中,出现流感症状的球员比例增加了4倍以上(4.1%vs.17%;P<0.001)。
这项研究强调,良好的睡眠质量对职业运动员的整体情绪和身体健康有积极影响。我们的研究结果强调了有针对性的睡眠干预措施对改善睡眠质量并随后优化心理和生理健康的重要性。
