“…These findings are in contradiction with the results of the present study and those of Waterhouse et al (2007). These discrepancies could be explained by the reduced sleep at night in the study of Suppiah et al (2018). In fact, the participants in the study of Suppiah et al (2018) were high-level Asian youth athletes who trained regularly.…”

“…A few studies have been conducted analyzing the impact of napping on athletic or physical performance(Waterhouse et al, 2007; Petit et al, 2014; Blanchfield et al, 2018; Hammouda et al, 2018; Keramidas et al, 2018; Suppiah et al, 2018; Daaloul et al, 2019). Waterhouse et al (2007) showed a better sprint performance following a 30-min post-lunch nap in partially sleep-deprived athletes, with reduced mean time for both 2-m (−0.04 s) and 20 m (−0.09 s) sprints in comparison to a no-nap condition.…”

“…Hammouda et al (2018) who demonstrated that an afternoon nap enhanced repeated-sprint performances after partial sleep deprivation, with the greatest beneficial effect using 90-min naps in comparison with 20-min naps. However, it has been shown that napping had no-effect on shooting performance, autonomic function (i.e., heart rate variability during simulated 20-min shooting competition), reaction time, and both 10 and 20-m sprint performance (Suppiah et al, 2018). Also, Suppiah et al (2018) reported a significant negative effect of a nap (i.e., maximum duration 30 min) on 2-m sprint performance.…”

Nap Opportunity During the Daytime Affects Performance and Perceived Exertion in 5-m Shuttle Run Test

et al. 2019

Purpose To compare the effect of different durations of nap opportunity during the daytime on repeated high-intensity short-duration performance and rating of perceived exertion (RPE). Methods Seventeen physically active men (age: 21.3 ± 3.4 years, height: 176.7 ± 5.9 cm, body mass: 71.8 ± 10.2 kg) performed a 5 m shuttle run test [to determine best distance (BD), total distance (TD), and fatigue index (FI)] under four conditions: a 25 min nap opportunity (N25), a 35 min nap opportunity (N35), a 45 min nap opportunity (N45), and control condition (no-nap) (N0). The sleep quality of each nap opportunity was evaluated using a scale ranging from 0 “no sleep” to 10 “uninterrupted, deep sleep throughout.” The four conditions were performed in a random order. RPE was recorded after each repetition of the 5 m shuttle run test and the mean score was calculated. Results BD increased after N25 (+6%) and N45 (+9%) compared to N0 ( p < 0.05) and was significantly higher after N45 compared to N35 ( p < 0.05). Compared to N0, the three nap opportunity durations enhanced TD ( p < 0.05) with greater enhancement after N45 compared to N25 (+8% vs. +3%) and N35 (+8% vs. +3%). For FI, no-significant differences were observed between the three nap opportunity durations and N0. The mean RPE score was significantly higher after N25 (+20%) and N0 (+19%) compared to N45 ( p < 0.05). All participants were able to fall asleep during each nap condition with a sleep quality score of 6.9 ± 1.0, 7.0 ± 0.7, and 7.1 ± 0.8 for N25, N35, and N45. Conclusion A nap opportunity during the daytime was beneficial for physical performance and perceived exertion with the N45 being the most effective for improving performance and reducing fatigue during the 5 m shuttle run test. The implication of the present study is that athletes might benefit from a nap opportunity of 25, 35 or 45 min before practice or before a competition.

“…Previous studies are limited by the lack of an objective measurement of the previous night’s sleep [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 28 ], which may confound their results. In this study, we confirmed total time sleep before each condition via the use of actigraphy, similar to previous work [ 14 , 29 , 30 ].…”

This study examined the effects of different nap durations on attention and physical performance as well as mood states, sleepiness, perceived exertion (RPE), recovery (PRS), and muscle soreness (DOMS) in trained men. Fourteen amateur team sport players (age: 20.3 ± 3.0 years, height: 173.1 ± 6.7 cm, body-mass: 68.1 ± 6.6 kg) performed a maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) test, 5-m shuttle run, and the digit-cancellation (i.e., attention) test after a no-nap (N0) and 40-min (N40) and 90-min (N90) of nap opportunities. Subjective measurement of mood states, RPE, PRS and DOMS were determined. Compared to N0, both nap durations enhanced attention, MVIC, total distance (TD), and higher distance (HD) (p < 0.001), with a higher gain after N90 compared to N40 for attention (Δ = +3), MVIC (Δ = +30 N) and TD (Δ = +35 m) (p < 0.001). Total mood scores were better after N40 and N90 compared to N0 (p < 0.05), with lower scores after N90 compared to N40 (p < 0.05). DOMS and RPE scores were significantly lower and PRS was significantly higher after N40 and N90 compared to N0 and after N90 compared to N40 (p < 0.05). Although both nap opportunity durations were beneficial, N90 was better than N40 for improving physical performances and attention as well as the perception of recovery, reducing fatigue perception, muscle soreness, and negative mood states.
