Effect of Sleep Deprivation on Perceived Exertion in Endurance Athletes: A Critically Appraise Topic
Category
Poster - Theoretical Proposal
Description
Context: Many studies have been conducted in order to determine the effects of sleep deprivations on athletes due its effects on performance. These studies focus on objective performance measures but have less commonly used a subjective measure of performance in the athletic population is used, called “perceived exertion.” Therefore, the purpose of this Critically Appraised Topic was formulated in order to find out the hypothetical question of “In endurance athletes, what is the effect of normal sleep compared to that of sleep deprivation when looking at perceived exertion?” Methods: Keywords and Boolean modifiers were used in sources such as PubMed, CINAHL, SportsDiscus, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library in order to find a wide arrange of articles. Originally thirty results were brought to our attention but through the use of inclusion/exclusion criteria (human participants, endurance athletes, perceived exertion, within the last ten years). This number was reduced to three, Souissi W et al.1, Roberts SSH et al.2, Roberts, Spencer S H et al3. All three articles were further evaluated through the use of the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) Scale, Souissi W et al1 8/10, Roberts SSH et al2 7/10, Roberts Spenser S H et al3 6/10 . Results: All three studies analyzed found a significant difference between the performance of endurance athletes and perceived exertion between participants who received a full night of normal sleep as compared to those who had sleep deprivation in some way. Roberts SSH et al2 found that those who get more and/or longer sleep and rest (3+ days) will have better performance than even those who get normal nights of sleep. Souissi W et al1 found that a good night of sleep is important for the body to recover and respond to any physiological effects, along with better performance demands. Roberts, Spencer S H et al2 goes on to explain that performance times for those with proper sleep were slower than the group with sleep deprivation by nearly four minutes. Conclusions: Evidence suggests that a good night of sleep will result in improved performance through perceived exertion and productivity. Each article found a significant difference between the outcomes recorded between the groups who got natural sleep and those with sleep deprivation and their subsequent performances. Grade A evidence shows a high degree of statistical support between sleep and perceived exertion.
