U.S., April 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06928168) titled 'Effect of Sleep Extension in Prevention to Sleep Deprivation' on March 28.
Brief Summary: The approach of a competition can be associated to a decrease in sleep duration and quality which can negatively impact athlete's performance and health (injury risk, fall, accident). Ultra-endurance competitions even involve partial and/or total sleep deprivation over one or several nights. Studied investigating this question suggest that endurance performance under sleep deprivation is altered, mainly because of an effect on the rate of perceived exertion (RPE), which regulates effort intensity. One of the methods used by athletes to limit t...
