A influência do sono nas lesões do futebol: uma revisão de escopo

Abstract

The objective of this scoping review was to assess whether sleep influences the incidence and recovery of injuries in soccer. A scoping review using the following databases: Virtual Health Library (BVS) and PubMed. 36 studies were found in BVS and 81 in PubMed. Seven studies were analyzed. From the review of the data, it was possible to observe that the relationship between sleep and injuries in soccer is multifactorial, with divergent evidence in different contexts and populations. Some findings are consistent with the idea that inadequate sleep can impair both the prevention and recovery of sports injuries. On the other hand, some studies did not find significant associations between the quantity or quality of sleep and the occurrence of injuries, indicating that factors such as the level of competition, player characteristics and sleep assessment methodologies may influence the conclusions about this relationship. This lack of consistency in the results suggests that sleep should not be considered an isolated factor in the risk of injuries, but rather in interaction with other aspects.
