Athlete Performance And Sleep

Abstract

Sleep is an important part of one's health and well-being, affecting physical growth, emotional control, cognitive efficiency, and overall quality of life. A body of evidence indicates that increased sleep duration and improved sleep quality in athletes are linked to improved performance and competitive success. Furthermore, better sleep could lower the risk of injury and illness in athletes, not only improving health but also potentially improving performance through increased training participation.
