Background
Sleep plays an important role for athletes, especially before competitions.
Objectives
In a sample of young athletes, the prevalence of disturbed sleep was determined. In addition, the subjective causes and effects of disturbed sleep before competitions were studied.
Materials and method
Overall, 46 students at the sports high school in Tenero, Switzerland, completed an online questionnaire.
Results
Over two-thirds of young athletes reported poorer sleep before important competitions or games. Of these athletes, 40% of these athletes stated that poor sleep before competitions/games affected their performance.
Discussion
From a subjective point of view, since poor sleep can impair performance in competitions, it is important to intensify research into this topic (experimental studies) and to develop sleep interventions for this target group.
