Impact of Concussion History on Sleep and Physical Performance in Contact Sports Athletes

March 25, 2024 updated by: Riphah International University

Association of History of Concussion With Sleep and Physical Performance in Contact Sports Athletes

This study investigates the correlation between a history of concussions and its effects on both sleep patterns and physical performance among athletes engaged in contact sports. By examining the relationship between concussion history, sleep quality, and athletic performance, this research aims to provide insights into the potential long-term implications of concussions on the well-being and performance of athletes in contact sports

Detailed Description

This study delves into the intricate relationship between the history of concussions, sleep quality, and physical performance among athletes participating in contact sports. Concussions, often occurring due to the high-impact nature of these sports, have raised concerns regarding their potential long-term effects on athletes' health and performance. This research aims to elucidate whether a history of concussions influences athletes' sleep patterns and subsequently affects their physical performance.

The study employs a comprehensive approach, utilizing both subjective and objective measures to assess sleep quality, such as self-reported sleep disturbances and objective sleep monitoring techniques. Furthermore, various metrics are employed to evaluate physical performance, including agility, strength, speed, and endurance tests tailored to the specific demands of contact sports.

By analyzing the data collected from athletes with and without a history of concussions, the study aims to identify potential correlations between concussion history, sleep disturbances, and diminished physical performance. Additionally, the research seeks to uncover any potential mediating factors, such as psychological distress or neurocognitive deficits, which may contribute to these associations.

The findings of this study hold significant implications for athlete well-being and sports medicine practices. Understanding the impact of concussions on sleep quality and physical performance can inform tailored interventions and rehabilitation strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of concussions on athletes' health and optimize their performance outcomes in contact sports. Moreover, these insights may contribute to the development of preventive measures and policies aimed at reducing the incidence and severity of concussions in sports settings.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cantu Scale
Time Frame: 3 -30 DAYS
First we have to identify mild concussion which can be done by CANTU SCALE DEVELOPED BY DR ROBER CANTU It has following description In Grade 1 concussions, there may be brief confusion or disorientation immediately following the injury, but there is no loss of consciousness or post-traumatic amnesia. Symptoms resolve within 15 minutes.(MODERATE) Grade 2 concussions involve a loss of consciousness lasting less than one minute and post-traumatic amnesia lasting less than 24 hours. Symptoms, however, persist for more than 15 minutes.(MILD) This is the most severe grade on the Cantu Scale. Grade 3 concussions involve a loss of consciousness lasting more than one minute, post-traumatic amnesia lasting more than 24 hours, and symptoms that persist for more than seven days.(SEVERE)
3 -30 DAYS

Secondary Outcome Measures
