Air travel requirements are a concern for National Basketball Association (NBA) coaches, players, and owners, as sport-based research has demonstrated short-haul flights (≤6 h) increase injury risk and impede performance. However, examination of the impact of air travel on player health and performance specifically in the NBA is scarce. Therefore, we conducted a narrative review of literature examining the influence of air travel on health and performance in team sport athletes with suggestions for future research directions in the NBA. Prominent empirical findings and practical recommendations are highlighted pertaining to sleep, nutrition, recovery, and scheduling strategies to alleviate the negative effects of air travel on health and performance in NBA players.
航空旅行要求是美国职业篮球联赛（NBA）教练、球员和球队老板所关心的问题，因为基于体育领域的研究表明，短途飞行（≤6小时）会增加受伤风险并影响比赛表现。然而，专门针对航空旅行对NBA球员健康和比赛表现影响的研究却很少。因此，我们对相关文献进行了叙述性综述，探讨航空旅行对团队运动运动员健康和比赛表现的影响，并提出了NBA未来的研究方向建议。文中突出了有关睡眠、营养、恢复以及日程安排策略的重要实证研究结果和实用建议，以减轻航空旅行对NBA球员健康和比赛表现的负面影响。
