The present study aimed to investigate the gender differences for sleep complaints, patterns and disorders of elite athletes during preparation for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The study included 146 athletes from the Brazilian Olympic Team (male: n=86; 59%; female: n=60; 41%). The assessment of the Olympic athletes' sleep took place in 2015, during the preparation period for the Rio Olympic Games. The athletes underwent a single polysomnography (PSG) evaluation. Sleep specialists evaluated the athletes and asked about their sleep complaints during a clinical consultation. In this evaluation week, the athletes did not take part in any training or competitions.
The prevalence of sleep complaints was 53% of the athletes during the medical consultation, the most prevalent being insufficient sleep/waking up tired (32%), followed by snoring (21%) and insomnia (19.2%). In relation to the sleep pattern findings, the men had significantly higher sleep latency and wake after sleep onset than the women (=0.004 and =0.002, respectively). The sleep efficiency and sleep stages revealed that men had a lower percentage of sleep efficiency and slow wave sleep than the women (=0.001 and =0.05, respectively).
Most athletes reported some sleep complaints, with men reporting more sleep complaints than women in the clinical evaluation. The PSG showed that 36% of all athletes had a sleep disorder with a greater reduction in sleep quality in men than in women.
本研究旨在调查2016年里约奥运会备战期间优秀运动员睡眠问题、睡眠模式及睡眠障碍的性别差异。
该研究纳入了146名巴西奥运代表队运动员（男性：n = 86；59%；女性：n = 60；41%）。对奥运运动员的睡眠评估于2015年里约奥运会备战期间进行。运动员接受了一次多导睡眠图（PSG）评估。睡眠专家对运动员进行评估，并在临床会诊时询问他们的睡眠问题。在这个评估周，运动员未参加任何训练或比赛。
在临床会诊中，53%的运动员存在睡眠问题，最常见的是睡眠不足/醒来疲惫（32%），其次是打鼾（21%）和失眠（19.2%）。关于睡眠模式的结果，男性的睡眠潜伏期和睡眠中觉醒时间显著高于女性（分别为P = 0.004和P = 0.002）。睡眠效率和睡眠阶段显示，男性的睡眠效率和慢波睡眠百分比低于女性（分别为P = 0.001和P = 0.05）。
大多数运动员报告了一些睡眠问题，在临床评估中男性报告的睡眠问题比女性更多。多导睡眠图显示，36%的运动员存在睡眠障碍，男性的睡眠质量下降幅度大于女性。
