“…Sleep has far-reaching impacts on our health and overall well-being. In athletes, a poor night's sleep may impair performance including reaction time, accuracy, strength and endurance [10,22]. Sleep deprivation can also harm cognitive functions like such as judgement and decision-making; increase the risk of exercise-related injurie; allow for the development of recurrent upper airway infections and cause chronic pain; even lead to the creation of a vicious cycle related to sleep loss, impaired recovery; increased feelings of pain that themselves predispose athletes to sleep disturbances and delay recovery from a sports-related injury e.g.…”

Recent studies suggest that professional athletes seem to experience significant sleeping problems. However, little is still known about the occurrence of sleeping challenges at different stages of an athletic career. This descriptive study aimed to compare the sleep of professional athletes with younger elite amateur athletes. A total of 401 sportsmen, 173 youth elite amateur athletes and 228 professional athletes fulfilled a validated questionnaire. The self-estimated quality of sleep (on a linear scale 0–10) was significantly better in youth, being 7.9 compared to 7.4 (p < 0.001). The professional athletes had a significantly higher risk for sleeping problems, especially during the competitive season (OR = 7.3, 95% confidence interval 4.1–12.9) and they also used significantly more sleep medications (OR = 8.3, 95% confidence interval 1.7–4.1). Interestingly, majority of youth athletes (85.4%) had received adequate sleep counselling compared with professional athletes (58.1%), (p < 0.001). Furthermore, 75.8% of professional athletes considered that additional sleep counselling would improve their performance compared with only 45.6% of youth athletes (p < 0.001). Our study demonstrates that compared with the younger counterparts, professional athletes experience impaired sleep quality and significantly more sleeping problems. There may be various underlying factors to induce the problems. The early intervention with sleep counselling may play an important role in preventing these problems and, therefore, it is recommended to be integrated in athletes’ overall training process.

“…The Stroop task was incongruent (Moreira et al, 2018 ; Shaabani et al, 2020 ) or combined with a Stroop software exercise involving math tests (Bahrami et al, 2020 ). Other studies used other forms of demanding cognitive tasks, such as watching a basketball tactical video (Filipas et al, 2021 ), N-Back tasks (López et al, 2017 ) and transcribing a neutral text with conditions (Englert et al, 2015 ). Hepler and Kovacs ( 2017 ) used mental serial subtraction to induce mental stress.…”

Mental Fatigue and Basketball Performance: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Mental fatigue (MF) is a psycho-biological state that impairs sports-related performances. Recently, it has been proved that MF can affect basketball performance. However, a systematic overview detailing the influences of MF on basketball performance is still lacking. This study aims to investigate the effects of MF on the physical, technical, tactical, and cognitive performance of basketball. We used the databases of PubMed, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, Scopes, and CKNI for articles published up to 31 May 2021. The articles included in this study were projected to test whether MF influences basketball athlete performance. Only experimental design studies were selected, and the control condition was without MF. Finally, seven articles fit the inclusion criteria. The results imply that MF impairs the technical aspects of basketball (free throws, three-point shots, and total turnover) and the players' cognitive [take-the-first (TTF) heuristics and decision-making] performance, which results in athletes not using their techniques skillfully and being unable to make practical decisions during critical points in the game. In addition to that, the influences of MF on physical and tactical performance have not been studied. Further studies should look into comprehensive research on the influences of MF on basketball performance, especially on a player's physical and tactical performance.Systematic Review Registration: [https://inplasy.com/] [INPLASY2021100017].

“…Sleep is a biological process having essential physiological functions for recovery and physical performance however, elite athletes do not often reach the recommended levels of night-time sleep duration and quality per night [ 28 , 29 ]. It has been shown that sleep restriction could negatively impact both sport-specific and athletic performance in different sport disciplines [ 30 – 32 ] and sleep disturbances in athletes may be explained by their constant exposure to many stressors that impair sleep, such as high-intensity training sessions, long-haul travels or high levels of pre-competition anxiety [ 33 ]. Unfortunately, among these variables, it has recently been demonstrated that also the home confinement determined by the Covid-19 pandemic may negatively influence the sleep of elite athletes [ 34 , 35 ].…”

The Covid-19 outbreak forced many governments to enter a nationwide lockdown. The aim of this study was to evaluate, by means of a survey, changes in sleep parameters and physical activity characteristics of elite track and field athletes in three periods: before the lockdown (T0), during the lockdown (09th March – 03rd May 2020, T1) and the first month after the lockdown (T2). This study was conducted from May 2020 to June 2020 and data were collected using an offline survey with 89 elite track and field athletes (mean age: 24.7 ± 5.4; n = 43 males; n = 46 females). The survey consisted of demographic data and questions on physical activity and sleep behavior at T0, T1 and T2. Athletes reported lower sleep quality scores at T1 compared to T0 and T2 (p < 0.0001) and registered delayed bedtime, wake-up time and longer sleep latency during the lockdown compared to pre-lockdown and post-lockdown whereas no changes in total sleep time were reported. No inter-group differences were detected in sleep characteristics between short- and long-term disciplines and between genders. The weekly training volume decreased from 16.1 ± 5.7 hours at T0 to 10.7 ± 5.7 hours at T1 (p < 0.0001) whereas no significant differences were detected in training volume during the lockdown in relation to the square footage of the house (p = 0.309). Alcohol (p = 0.136) and caffeine intake (p = 0.990) and use of electronic devices (p = 0.317) were similar pre-, during, and post-lockdown. The unprecedented circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic had negative impacts on the Italian track and field athletes’ sleep and training volumes.
