“…Elite athletes are particularly unlikely to get sufficient sleep the night prior to competition 72. Sleep deprivation impairs athletic performance across many sports73–96 and sleep improvement leads to improved performance 78 83 97–100. Sufficient sleep is important to avoid overtraining82 87 92 101 102 and maximise training gains by regulating adaptive release of hormones such as testosterone103–106 and growth hormone 107–111.…”

Mental health symptoms and disorders are common among elite athletes, may have sport related manifestations within this population and impair performance. Mental health cannot be separated from physical health, as evidenced by mental health symptoms and disorders increasing the risk of physical injury and delaying subsequent recovery. There are no evidence or consensus based guidelines for diagnosis and management of mental health symptoms and disorders in elite athletes. Diagnosis must differentiate character traits particular to elite athletes from psychosocial maladaptations.Management strategies should address all contributors to mental health symptoms and consider biopsychosocial factors relevant to athletes to maximise benefit and minimise harm. Management must involve both treatment of affected individual athletes and optimising environments in which all elite athletes train and compete. To advance a more standardised, evidence based approach to mental health symptoms and disorders in elite athletes, an International Olympic Committee Consensus Work Group critically evaluated the current state of science and provided recommendations.

“…Second, the questionnaire employed in the present study was highly subjective and failed to make direct and objective assessments of vigilance and judo performance. Unlike in an individual sport like golf,15 conditions affecting both competing judo players will influence the result of their match, which makes objective evaluations of judo performances more complicated. Thus, only subjective evaluation was available in this study.…”

“…SDB also affects vigilance and judgement ability of sports players, although data in this regard are limited. In a study of golfers, SDB reduced performance, while an appropriate therapeutic approach, that is, CPAP, restored performance 15. In another study of college football players, the prevalence of SDB was unexpectedly as high as 14%–34%,16 compared with the younger general population (in their 30s) at 7.9%–17% 6–8.…”

ObjectivePrevious studies have suggested that young sports players may suffer from sleep disordered breathing (SDB). It was hypothesised that SDB in heavy-class judo players was far more prevalent than expected and that it could reduce judo performance, which could be improved by appropriate therapies. To address this, the present study estimated the percentage of heavy-class judo players with SDB and investigated the effect of SDB treatment on judo performance.MethodsWe enrolled 19 young judo players from a university judo team with body weight >100 kg and/or body mass index >30 kg/m2. Both excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and respiratory disturbance index (RDI) were evaluated using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and an overnight type 3 sleep monitor.ResultsThe percentages of young heavyweight-class judo players with EDS (ESS ≥11) and those with SDB (RDI ≥5) were both 63%, which was unexpectedly high for the age class. Seven of the participants underwent continuous positive airway pressure therapy, which improved both RDI and ESS scores (p<0.05 for each) and subsequently the sleep quality and judo performance of the participants.ConclusionsOur study indicates that young judo players might silently suffer from SDB, leading to poorer judo performance and to future cardiovascular diseases. Clinicians should be aware of the possible presence of SDB in young sports players and consider the application of diagnostic and therapeutic remedies.

“…Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder that affects 2-4% of adult populations [1]. It is characterized by episodes of apnea and hypopnea as a result of upper airway obstruction [2] and can be associated with multiple comorbidities and adverse cardiovascular events [3]. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) was proposed by Croft and Pringle in 1991 [4] and is considered an important tool for evaluation of the degree and sites of upper airway obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea [5,6].…”

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate if the addition of dexmedetomidine to propofol could improve the success and reduce the complications during drug induced sleep endoscopy in obstructive sleep apnea patients. Patient and methods: Fifty adult patients scheduled for drug induced sleep endoscopy were randomly allocated to one of two groups. Group P (25 patients) received propofol loading dose of 0.5 mg/kg over 3 min then continuous infusion in a dose of 25-75 mcg/kg/min. Group PD (25 patients) received propofol infusion as group P and dexmedetomidine intravenous infusion with a loading dose of 0.5 mcg/kg over 5 min then continuous infusion in a dose of 0.2-0.7 mcg/kg/h. The primary outcome was successful completion of the procedure. The secondary outcomes included the time to start endoscopy, procedure duration, the incidence of adverse events and surgeons and patients satisfaction. Results: Successful completion of the procedure was significantly higher in group PD (96%) compared to group P (72%). The total propofol dose needed/patient (mg) was significantly more in group P compared to group PD (173.5 ± 41.6 versus98.4 ± 19.8 with shorter recovery time in group PD. Both surgeons and patients satisfaction were significantly higher in group PD compared to group P. The incidence of cough and gag reflexes were significantly higher in group P compared to group PD. Heart rate (HR) was significantly lower in group PD compared to group P at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min from the start of the studied drugs. Respiratory rate (RR) was significantly lower in group P compared to group PD at 5, 10, 15 and 20 min from the start of the studied drugs (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Addition of dexmedetomidine to propofol is associated with higher incidence of successful completion of the procedure with faster recovery. Cough and gag reflexes were significantly lower with the addition of dexmedetomidine with higher surgeons and patients satisfaction.
