【 摘 要 】

Background: Soccer competitions performed with less than or equal to 24 hours of recuperation,including inadequate amounts of quality sleep, may adversely affect performance. Objective: Thepurpose of this research was to assess running performance between self-reported good and poorsleepers in female university sport soccer players (N = 12) in matches played with ≤ 24 hoursof recovery. Methods: In this cross-sectional and observational study, twelve female universitysoccer players (mean age: 19.44 + 1.69 yr) were followed throughout one season of competitionusing a time-series analysis of running performance and comparing good (n = 7) versus poor(n = 5) sleepers. Global positioning systems (GPS) were used to evaluate jogging/sprintingperformance throughout the 2016 soccer season. Good and poor sleepers were determined viathe Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: There was a significant reduction (p <.05) inrunning performance from the first to the second game in the entire cohort, while post hoc analysisindicated that good sleepers performed better on the relative speed performance parameter whencomparing the first game to the second game; however, there was no change in this performancevariable in the poor sleepers between the first and second game. Conclusions: Our study indicatesthat Canadian female university soccer players may need longer than 24 hours of recovery toperform optimally in subsequent matches. Generally, good and poor sleepers perform similarlyexcept for GPS relative speed in back-to-back matches with 24 hours of recovery.
