Abstract

Purpose
Inadequate sleep has a negative impact on the psychological and physiological health of elite athletes. Studies have shown a correlation exists between sleep deprivation and a drop in performance. Despite rising interest in sleep science, current research focus is on outcome and the cause of sleep deprivation is a secondary consideration. This scoping review aims to identify themes in peer-reviewed studies that are related to the possible causation of sleep deprivation in competitive athletes.

Method
A scoping review was conducted using the PRISMA-ScR guideline. Three databases were used to research for the literature PubMed, Medline and EBSCO.

Results
After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria 16 peer-reviewed studies were identified. The studies were categorised into two sub-categories of short- and long-term causes of sleep deprivation. Five themes were identified: travel, night performance, prior, during and following competition and concussion.

Conclusion
The findings of this scoping review identified a number a short and long-term causes of sleep deprivation. The causes of the short-term causes can be addressed by implementing some simple interventions such as napping, relaxation techniques and sleep hygiene could aid an athlete performance. However, the long-term causes were linked to concussion, any intervention would need to be studied in greater detail and is beyond the remit of this scoping review.

Objectif
Un sommeil insuffisant a un impact négatif sur la santé psychologique et physiologique des athlètes d’élite. Des études ont montré qu’il existe une corrélation entre la privation de sommeil et une baisse des performances. Malgré l’intérêt croissant pour la science du sommeil, la recherche actuelle se concentre sur les résultats et la cause de la privation de sommeil est une considération secondaire. La présente étude de portée vise à identifier les thèmes des études évaluées par des pairs qui sont liés à la cause possible de la privation de sommeil chez les athlètes de compétition.

Méthode
Une étude de portée a été effectuée selon les règles PRISMA-ScR. Trois bases de données ont été utilisées pour la recherche de la littérature : PubMed, Medline et EBSCO.

Résultats
Après application des critères d’inclusion et d’exclusion, 16 études évaluées par des pairs ont été identifiées. Les études ont été classées en deux sous-catégories de causes à court et à long terme de la privation de sommeil. Cinq thèmes ont été identifiés: déplacement, performance nocturne, avant, pendant et après compétition et commotion cérébrale.

Conclusion
Les résultats de cette étude de portée ont identifié un certain nombre de causes à court et à long terme de la privation de sommeil. Les causes à court terme peuvent être traitées en mettant en œuvre des interventions simples telles que la sieste, les techniques de relaxation et l’hygiène du sommeil qui pourraient aider les performances d’un athlète. Cependant, les causes à long terme étant liées à une commotion cérébrale, toute intervention nécessiterait d’être étudiée plus en détail et dépasse le cadre de cette étude de portée.
